Verdict

DELUCA CHOP had a bit up his sleeve when going in at Down Royal last time and can defy a 6 lb rise in the weights to land a hat-trick. Without Love is feared most on the back of a good second at Bellewstown, although Magna Gee Gee is also weighted to have a big say. Metamorpheus completes the shortlist.
