Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: A J Farragher⁽⁴⁾| T: Michael W O'Meara| OR: 83| D

66/1

Winner of three of his eight starts on an artificial surface but the gelding is still looking for his first breakthrough success in four starts on turf. Dismal effort on first start for 12 months at Leopardstown last month and easy to oppose here.

Won well at Gowran Park on return to action before being no match for Patrick Sarsfield at Leopardstown last month. Young rider tipped for big things, rode a decent winner at Navan earlier this month.

100/1

Well beaten and no impression in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk over the winter including when last seen in December. Unlikely to be troubling the judge on return to action.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D E Sheehy| T: C Byrnes| OR: 71

11/1

Forecasts

Isotope (5/2), Ideal Pal (9/2), Ally Cay (11/2), On The Balcony (7/1), Rock On Seamie (7/1), Spiorad Saoirse (10/1), Segenhoe (11/1), Share The Honour (12/1), Centroid (12/1), Maricruz (16/1), Jazz Lady (16/1), Leagan Gaeilge (25/1), Attalco (66/1), Bobby K (66/1), Sam Missile (100/1), Der Mc (100/1)

The Michael Mulvany-trained IDEAL PAL is in a rich vein of form and can get back to winning ways in this contest. The four-year-old won well at Gowran Park on return to action before being no match for Patrick Sarsfield at Leopardstown last month but has the assistance of rising star of the weighing room, Dylan Browne McMonagle. The big danger would be Centroid for trainer Dermot Weld, if anywhere near his form of 2018. Spiorad Saoirse better than last effort suggests, On The Balcony, the mount of jockey Nathan Crosse and the Joseph O'Brien-trained Isotope are all capable of hitting the frame.
