33/1

C&D winner. 5/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (7f) 70 days ago. Doesn't appear to be as good on turf, so this is a big ask.

4/1

Failed to justify support when sixteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 6/1) 53 days ago. Not one to write off.

Forecasts

Janoobi (11/5), Tosen Wish (4/1), Stag Night (7/1), Rahmi (15/2), Cheers Again (11/1), Earls (12/1), Scholarship (14/1), Apache Outlaw (16/1), Hurricane Ivor (16/1), Tango Flare (18/1), Kings Time (20/1), All Lies Ahead (20/1), Torivega (20/1), Heavenly Power (20/1), Current Option (28/1), Hightimeyouwon (33/1), Volatile Analyst (40/1), Physique (66/1), Tawaazon (150/1)

JANOOBI is still lightly raced for his age and, having returned from a lengthy absence to score emphatically at Naas in March, he's capable of defying a rise. Stag Night and Earls both arrive in top form and should give the selection plenty to think about.
