WESTERN FRONTIER has made the frame in both previous starts and those performances suggest that he will be extremely hard to beat in a race of this nature. That's Not Me has been knocking hard on the door of late and it would be no surprise to see her in the mix once again. Captainofthebounty finished a place behind the selection last time out and another good performance can be expected from him.

DANCING MOUNTAIN has not been disgraced in either start since her victory at Naas last month and the handicapper has given the daughter of Kodiac a chance by dropping her 2lb for her latest run. Dottie Vallens arguably put in a career best last time out and is one to note on her handicap debut. Others to consider are Cruella Dovil and Meryems Way.

ART OF UNITY only found a couple too good in a 23-runner handicap over an extended 5f here last time out and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Dash D'Or failed to fire when sent off as joint favourite for that race but she can be given another chance based on her previous form. The shortlist is completed by Gottardo and Mercury.

MISS POWER stayed on strongly when finishing third here on her latest outing, only beaten half a length. She was behind Amanaat (second) on that occasion, but she can reverse form with that rival as she looks fairly treated on her best form. Amanaat has finished second on three of his last four outings so is likely to pose a consistent threat once again, while Fuwairt is of interest despite the drop in trip.

SHAREVA has threatened to get her head in front on a couple of occasions earlier on this season, but has found it difficult to fulfill her initial promise. That said, the drop to 6f could unlock improvement from Dermot Weld's filly and she has blinkers reapplied. Al Batal was just denied close home on his most recent outing at the track and is likely to be in the mix along with Peshkova, who makes her second start for Willie McCreery.

TIDE OF TIME won in decisive fashion when benefiting from a drop in trip here over an extended 5f earlier in the month. Despite going up 11lb for that success, he looks open to further improvement and can defy the rise in the handicap. Billyfairplay has won his last two on the all-weather, but does have form on turf with his Naas third last month a solid effort, while Captain Midnight could bounce back after a break having won here in April.

Willie Mullins' SCAGLIETTI impressed on her bumper debut at Listowel and, despite disappointing in a Gowran Listed race last time, could have plenty more to offer switching to the Flat and dropping in trip. The form of Foreign Secretary's Curragh fifth looks solid and it would be no surprise to see blinkers bring about improvement in the Galileo colt, while stablemate Frankincense shouldn't be discounted. Dermot Weld's Make The Switch is also noted on his first outing since May, in a Leopardstown race won by St Leger third Southern France.

JAKE PETER could be the answer here, having proved to be versatile in regards to trip of late. The four-year-old was unsuited by the going when second on his hat-trick bid last time and can get back on track now on a sounder surface. Time For Mabel and Sbraase are both improving and have to be respected, while the consistent Mastermind is also shortlisted. However, the main danger looks to be Jim Bolger's Miraculum, who picked up a silver medal over C&D last time and should have plenty more in the locker.
