FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up over this distance at the Curragh last time, AVEC GRAND PLAISIR(6) can go one better. A lightly raced three-year-old, the Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding is only 1lb higher now and can gain a first success. While he will be suited to further in time, this looks a stiff test over a mile and he looks well enough treated to go close. Comfort Line, who won that aforementioned Curragh race is now 2lb worse off with the selection. A former course and distance winner, the Ado McGuinness-trained veteran is proven at this venue so that has to be a major positive. Ella's Gold disappointed last time but had been in decent form prior to that so is worth considering.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (70 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
