Canadian Steel has won three times around here and would have a chance if the ground dries up. Golden Sunset scored at Down Royal in January and ran better than his finishing position indicates at Leopardstown earlier this month. Stoughan Cross won a handicap hurdle at Punchestown but pulled up at Down Royal on Tuesday. Whydah was on the retreat when falling at Leopardstown and has yet to reach a place in 14 starts but THE TRIGGER, who is on a long losing run, has dropped to such a lowly mark that he can get back on the winning trail with his rider's claim a plus.
