The Sheila Lavery-trained ULTRA PRIDE can win at the fifth time of asking round this track. The gelding can make the most of his running style, dictating the pace under jockey Robbie Colgan. The solid and consistent Spelga can emerge as the biggest danger with the son of Sir Percy arriving here on a four-timer. C&D winners, Pak Army who steps up in trip and Lady De Vesci should not be underestimated while Miss Louise could go well at a price. **The Joseph O'Brien-trained Ozone is currently third reserve but would enter calculations if getting a run following a facile win on Friday.
