Dinnie's Vinnie brings winning form into this having scored at Thurles last month, beating off Flynsini to do so. The runner-up is now much better off at the weights but the suspicion is that that the former might have more to offer when push comes to shove. Plenty of the others have questions to answer, but Garrai Phaidin has been mostly consistent this season and is forgiven a rare flop last time, he should be competitive. Witness Of Fashion would have leading claims on a going day but the nod goes to SOARING HIGH. He was favourite for this contest 12 months ago only to unseat at the first and returned to action with a good effort at Thurles in January. If building on that, he is capable of a big run now. Larry Capri, a winner at Fairyhouse in January, is also considered.
- Soaring High
- Dinnie's Vinnie
- Garrai Phaidin
