Beau Michael is only a pound higher than winning this at a big price 12 months ago. He's had a couple of runs on the Flat since finishing tailed off at Wexford and David Splaine will give him every assistance from the saddle again. Sea Light was fourth in a Grade B handicap at Leopardstown in January after completing a hat-trick and must go on the short-list while Maguire's Glen has won over this trip at Cork and Wexford recently and may still be improving. The mare Diyala makes her handicap debut while Highbrow Blue is lightly-raced, though had to be switched to fences to get off the mark under Rules. ALADDINS CAVE has won seven times on the Flat and three times over hurdles. He caught the eye behind Daneking at Fairyhouse 10 days ago on his first run since scoring at Galway last July and looks as though he's been aimed at this meeting.
