As the winner of this race a year ago under Katie Walsh, Red Basil will attract support though he's 12lb higher and not in the best of form. Nina Carberry takes the ride on Sumkindasuprstar, who was returning from a very long lay-off when a decent fourth at Limerick last month, though a longer trip may be required. Effortless continues to run well but hasn't won in 16 starts while Satwa King never got into the action when third at Limerick and may need further. Connections of the veteran BUCK BREEZE are unlikely to be impressed with a 4lb rise for finishing runner-up to Mr Eko over the C&D last month but he's probably still not on a bad mark and can return to winning ways. Owennacurra Milan won a handicap over the trip at Cork in December before finding 2m5f much too far at Limerick.
