PREDICTION: SON OF HYPNOS
RACE VERDICT
Ross O’Sullivan has already had a week to remember and it might get even better as BYTHESAMETOKEN is off the same mark as when third last year. His recent chase form is respectable and rain won’t bother him. Vischio was behind both Son Of Hypnos and Clonbury Bridge here earlier in the week but that effort can be upgraded and she too could take a step forward should it get wet. The Truant is preferred of the remainder.

RACE VERDICT
A fiercely competitive heat but it’s worth chancing LITTLEBIGGIE. She beat a subsequent winner at Killarney and followed that up with a good second behind Paggane last time out. She could be let in lightly off 118 on handicap debut. Sea Music is an obvious contender after his run on Wednesday, while Solly Attwell is an intriguing contender with the trip promising to suit [Conor Fennelly] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: FINAL ORDERS
RACE VERDICT
Willie Mullins holds the key here and slight preference is for EASY GAME over Janidil. Giving weight away to his stablemate won’t be easy but the ten-year-old is very dependable in these types of events. Tullybeg has a bit to find on ratings but he’s been in good form in staying handicaps this season and can be in contention if recovering from Wednesday’s exertions [Conor Fennelly] Source: Racing Post

RACE PREDICTOR
PREDICTION: THE BIG CHAP
RACE VERDICT
It’s worth taking a chance on MAGIC TRICKS who seems on a nice mark judged on his hurdles form. He will need to step forward from his effort behind Dreal Deal at Wexford but he should have more to offer. Saint Roi has some strong handicap form and this is a much more suitable trip than what he tackled in the Galway Plate, while The Big Chap also has claims [Conor Fennelly] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: EARLS
RACE VERDICT
This has been a race for specialists in recent years and DUNUM was very good when winning it a year ago. He can defy a 6lb higher mark from an ideal draw. Three-time winner of this, Current Option is back again and has to be respected. Earls got no run in the Colm Quinn BMW Mile here earlier in the week and has a shout, along with the third in that race This Songisforyou and No More Porter.

Luckinthecity put in a promising display when scoring at Listowel on debut and Patrick Mullins sides with him over Roscommon winner Portcammon Live Aid is an interesting debutant for Emmet Mullins and it will be intriguing to see what the market makes of him.
