Stanhope won this last year from stall two and is 18lb lower though was beaten a long way by CONVERSANT here in March. The latter ran a fine race when drawn on the unfavoured side at Fairyhouse on Friday and can go in again. Art Of Unity had been beaten 11 times on this track before finally beating a big field a couple of weeks ago for which he's been raised a massive 11lb. He had Teddy Boy well beaten that day but the latter has won twice around here and should do better. Boughtinthedark completed a double on the track last summer over the minimum trip but is still 7lb higher than her latest success. Hodd's Girl completed a double at Dundalk and got upset in the stalls on her return to Turf at Naas.
