Several of these bring winning form into the race and others have been knocking on the door so this looks a competitive renewal. Donatis Comet was all out to land a Clonmel maiden last month and may struggle to get the better of Friday's Leopardstown winner PIVOT BRIDGE off level weights. The latter has a 5lb penalty but still appears to be improving and is also preferred to Cash Or Casualty and Cave Artist, who finished just ahead of Balladiene at Navan on Saturday. Whisper Gently may have too much weight but Legendary Times is in decent form and finished ahead of Opa Loca when fifth at Naas last week.
