Joseph O'Brien has his string in excellent nick so his progressive Calyx filly LETTERS OF LOVE is taken to build on her very good Tipperary fifth and get off the mark. James The Second heads the list of dangers on the back of his improved recent second here, while Cala Bonita, Weegeebear and Elvetham all need factoring into this open handicap too.
