YAIZA has only been here three times, landing a maiden over the trip in June and a handicap over slightly shorter last month over slightly shorter. He's up 7lb but is lightly-raced for his age and should have some improvement in him. Elegant Dan ran poorly in the latter race but had won a track and trip handicap in July and is much better than he showed. Hello Pilgrim was headed right on the line over 3m at Clonmel having won over 2m6f at Limerick earlier so a strong gallop would play to her strengths. Rebel Waltz is in fine form having lost his maiden tag with a comfortable victory at Wexford though he could do with some rain. There are plenty of others with chances in an open contest including course and distance winner Thats Mypresenting.
