Dawn Tapper has been beaten since winning over a shorter trip at Leopardstown while See The Love never figured at the same fixture on her handicap bow. Calvados won over hurdles before placing on the Flat at Navan on Saturday but FRENCH COMPANY went close at Sligo on only his second outing of the year and gets the vote in this given the winner has gone in again since. Classical Memories has struggled since scoring at Naas while Too Bright folded tamely when sent off favourite at Fairyhouse, though a tongue-tie is applied.
