Ger Lyons has won this a couple of times in recent years and Semantics would have a chance if getting a run. The stable also have the newcomer Berlina engaged. Hokusai has a long absence to overcome after a good effort on heavy ground here in April while Not Forgotten has shown his best form at Dundalk. SIMPSON'S PARADOX was narrowly beaten over the trip at Killarney and was only headed in the closing stages over slightly further at Galway so looks the one to beat.
