Formscan By Alan Magee - HELVIC DREAM enjoyed his finest hour when landing the Tattersalls Gold Cup on heavy ground here back in 2021. The Noel Meade-trained gelding, absent for almost a year after that victory, is without a win since but still retains a high level of ability and this represents a good opportunity with ground conditions in his favour. Coeur Sublime is a high class sort over jumps and made an impressive return to the Flat when providing Andrew Jones with his first winner at the Listowel Festival last month. Lord Erskine has been a grand servant to connections notably winning the Cesarewitch six years ago and the veteran recorded a tenth career win in a valuable two-mile handicap here last month. Sugaree won a Leopardstown maiden over 1m4f in June but needs to bounce back after disappointing here on her only subsequent start.
