Four-time C&D winner, including twice in January. Latest win at Fairyhouse in May. Only sixth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m, soft) 28 days ago but had posted 3 good runner-up efforts prior to that. Dangerous to discount back here.

Forecasts

Coasting (5/2), Moyassr (5/1), Bella Colombia (6/1), Leveraging (8/1), Glitter And Glory (10/1), Gavoo (12/1), Lahore Da King (12/1), John La Bear (14/1), Sheamus Seimhiu (14/1), Selective Power (16/1), Red Hugh O'Donnell (20/1), Howyoulikethat (25/1), Elusive In Mayo (25/1)

COASTING is given a chance to build on his promising 7f course second earlier in the month. Willie McCreery's Bella Colombia caught the eye at Leopardstown recently and this former C&D scorer is second choice. Moyassr's good C&D record brings him into the reckoning, while the selection's stablemate Gavoo is well treated if a return to all-weather sparks a revival.
