Verdict

MEHMAN still has to prove he's as effective away from Dundalk, but he's potentially well treated from a lower turf mark so could be worth chancing back from a break for a new trainer. Progressive and unexposed pair Run Ran Run and Sheikh Maz Mahood head the dangers.

  1. MEHMAN
  2. RUN RAN RUN (IRE)
  3. SHEIKH MAZ MAHOOD (IRE)
