Bulgaden showed nothing on his first two starts but did much better when attempting to make all at Gowran and with further progress can go well. Liberty's Gift has been steadily improving and produced a strong performance at Navan last month where he only faded after the last with today's rivals Missie Ella and Mazagee well beaten though the latter has since run much better. DISCOTECA, twice a winner for Andrew Balding on the Flat, made a bright start over timber behind Chill at Leopardstown and his two subsequent runs have been at Grade level so he should take this drop in class in his stride.
