Elm Grove has been in excellent form in two runs this season and should give another good account in this after going down fighting in a Leopardstown handicap last month. Sharjah will likely seek to get on with things up front and having failed to hold on off this mark at Limerick last time, this shorter trip should suit, though he's far from certain to get the lead here. Last year's winner Birthplace hasn't shown enough since to merit support but stablemate Ligeti has been in cracking form on the AW of late and will be a huge player if leaving his previous turf form behind now. The versatile BEECHMOUNT WHISPER did well to score from the front over 7f at Leopardstown last month given his depths of stamina and he can defy a ratings hike over a trip that should suit him well having since run a fine race over hurdles at Fairyhouse.
