The vote goes to DESERT HAVEN, who returned to form when attempting to repeat his 2024 success in a 7f Leopardstown handicap last month and he remains on an attractive mark. Declaree also put in a good shift on her seasonal reappearance and enters calculations, along with Goldrush Kid, who scored on return at the Curragh and ran well when fifth of 15 off this 6 lb higher mark at the same course next time. If Neo Smart heads here rather than Leopardstown on Sunday, she will also have a chance.
