7/4

Scored at Perth in June and better for return when easy winner over C&D 5 weeks ago, looking as good as ever. Good chance he can dominate this small field again.

Form: 672-151

Magna Sam⁶²

11/10

Ran out an emphatic winner on just his second start for current connections over C&D 2 months ago. Had very little to beat that day but this looks another uncompetitive event.

Form: 6-6PP51

6/1

Dual C&D winner in 2019 but he arrives below par, no response when last of 7 here 5 weeks ago. Headgear on 1st time.

Form: 653U47

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: K Scott| OR: 93

9/1

Mixed record for Eric McNamara in Ireland and winless for almost 3 years. Bit to prove starting out for this yard.

Forecasts

Magna Sam (11/10), Pookie Pekan (7/4), Elmono (6/1), Celtic Dancer (9/1)

POOKIE PEKAN looked as good as ever when running out an emphatic winner over C&D 5 weeks ago and he's taken to dominate again. Magna Sam is the obvious threat after his bloodless victory over this C&D in December.
