Verdict

Calm Bay won this in 2014 and is very well treated if anywhere near back to form. A Few Dollars More started favourite at Tipperary last month but couldn't handle Shanghai Beauty, who stayed on strongly to beat Sweetest Taboo a short-head. That was on very heavy ground and the runner-up is much more likely to be suited by today's conditions. MR BOUNTY was having his first start since September when just failing to hold the flying finish of Falcao at Cork last month. With that under his belt and just 2lb extra to contend with he can go one better.
