Verdict
Hard to rule any of these out with confidence and the suggestion is DAAMBERDIPLOMAT, who took a step back in the right direction when sixth in a valuable, big-field Leopardstown handicap last month. Hightimeyouwon is just about second choice, with Barbapapa nominated as best of the rest.

Verdict9/4, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) when last seen in May, kept up to work. This is more demanding up 6 lb, but he's pretty consistent and should again run his race.
