Caesar's Comet won a claimer at this fixture a year ago and though unsuccessful subsequently has been placed on several occasions. Castletownshend also has a track and trip victory to his credit back in 2020 and led for a long way over 7f at Leopardstown a fortnight ago only to be passed by Royal Tribute, who has an 8lb rise to contend with but will be suited by the extra furlong. MULLACASH BUZZ scored at Dundalk in February and on his return to Turf at Naas in April. He's had a break and looks open to further progress so gets the nod. Cool Leader is still a maiden but ran very well at Gowran last time but Morning Dew is overlooked despite a fine effort on her reappearance at Listowel as she's now 0-22.
