Noel Meade’s made an encouraging return to action at the Curragh and is interesting on his form as a dual-purpose performer in 2021. If forgiven a dismal run over hurdles last time is noteworthy for his winning jumps form at this venue. Likewise, No Thanks and Walking On Glass are worth considering as previous winners of this race. Last month’s Fairyhouse winner En Or and consistent maiden Mon Coeur have plentry of weight but couldn’t be safely ruled out. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post
