Highest Benefit, a winner at Clonmel in March when Flynsini was beaten a long way, returned from a long absence to win convincingly over the course and distance last month and a 7lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Lacken Bridge is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Gowran just over a year ago and he's won here in the past. WAKE UP EARLY, a winner at Galway in September, didn't get the best of runs back there the following month and was there with every chance when unseating his rider 2 out at Fairyhouse so gets the vote. Kilderry Prince won this last year but only had one subsequent run in February.
