BOLD SKY is a potential improver now switched to handicaps and she can put a disappointing effort at Leopardstown last time out behind her by making a winning handicap debut in this contest. Gordon Elliott's charge should appreciate the return to the forecast heavy ground and can get the better of Ardmilan who has been running well in defeat recently. Killare Castle, who has failed to complete the last twice can finish third on his return to an undulating track.
