Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: D P McDonogh| T: E Lynam| OR: 83| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Below-form seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 14 days ago, so he needs to bounce back.

7/2

(10)

Skontonovski^v²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: C D Hayes| T: A McGuinness| OR: 76| CD

14/1

C&D winner in January. 10/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, unsuited by way race developed, so he's no forlorn hope here.

(11)

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: M P Sheehy⁽³⁾| T: D P Coakley| OR: 76

Forecasts

Chavajod (3/1), Mulgrave (7/2), Punk Poet (11/2), Super Over (11/2), Tyrconnell (11/2), Ransom (11/1), Skontonovski (14/1), Dedillon (16/1), Meishar (20/1), Noble Crusade (40/1), Party Moon (125/1)

MULGRAVE has thrived since joining John McConnell and is taken to defy another rise in the weights and complete his hat-trick for his new yard. Tyrconnell is always to be highly respected round here and is next on the list, with Meishar another muliple course winner who needs considering in an open contest.
