2nd

3rd

A ready winner over C&D 16 days ago, it looks best to side with the unexposed MORNING SUN. The son of Muhaarar appeared to relish the switch to front-running tactics on that occasion and a similar showing here could see him defy a 6lb rise in the handicap. Irish raider Theophilos appeals as his main danger following last month’s Tipperary success, while Innse Gall heads the remainder, although Zarabanda should not be underestimated.

Successful over C&D last July, SHINE ON BRENDAN has been knocking on the door of late with a pair of runner-up efforts and this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Hostelry arrives with similar claims and can give him the most to think about, along with Rogue Force, who has dropped down to a very attractive mark.
