The Ballydoyle entry RIVER TIBER won't have Kieren Fallon's help but this son of Danehill should be up to making a winning start under Seamus Heffernan. Taqseem was an odds-on chance when beaten by Beach Bound at Tralee while Patronise made a reasonable start over the minimum trip here and should improve. Dermot Weld's newcomer Profumo is related to some speedy winners and is one to note.

Arcelie showed improved form to score at Leopardstown and is at the right end of the handicap along with Malthouse Master, who dead-heated when last seen at Leopardstown in the spring. FLASHY BEAU has shot up the weights after a very easy success at Fairyhouse last week but is in such good heart that he will take some beating here. The lightly-raced Danzelline has a good boy in the plate and doesn't look badly treated.

Diamonds For Luck is rising steadily in the weights but still doesn't look badly treated and a hat-trick is a distinct possibility. Libras Child has twice seen the back of Diamonds For Luck recently but a decent weight turnaround should take him much closer. BENWILT BREEZE has taken on much better company since completing a mid-summer double and though high enough in the weights he can return to winning ways.

Aidan O'Brien runs three with jockey bookings suggesting Oh How Lovely, well beaten behind stablemate Rumplestiltskin here last time after scrambling home in a maiden, looking the selected. She finished behind UGO FIRE in the former race when the latter made the well-touted winner pull out all the stops. Abigail Pett is improving with every run though a Group 3 penalty for her victory over Aussie Rules here won't help.

ACROPLOLIS has been a big disappointment since his brilliant run when 4th in last year's 'Arc but is unlikely to get a better opportunity to regain the winning thread. Cairdeas is the form pick but has a big penalty for his easy success over Yeats in a Group 3 here in May. Good Surprise has progressed from handicaps to run well in Listed contests and looks booked for a place at least.

Final Opinion is very consistent and will have the ground to her liking though a few pounds off her back wouldn't go amiss. Fire Finch had dropped to a fair mark before scoring at Listowel and she's 6lb higher here which may let in OUT IN THE OPEN, 2 lengths behind her at Wexford but a winner at Tramore since. Tingshaw Ring has been in good form over timber and looks reasonably treated while Dynah Mo Hum improved to score at Tralee and can probably progress again.

Dalucci is sure to do better over today's extra furlong after staying on nicely over 7f last time out. MARSAM wasn't given a hard time on his debut behind Heliostatic here and should repay the kindness though Ballydoyle's newcomer Puerto Rico, a Sadler's Wells colt related to winners, will obviously be one to note.
