The one who appeals most is MR MOONDANCE. This gelding has run consistently well recently and still looks on a workable mark despite an recent 7lb increase for winning at Wexford (and going up a further 2lb since). The form of his third at the same course last time would be enough to put in right in the mix for this even if he didn't improve, and it seems likely that he could do so again. Roachdale House ran a very good race to finish an unlucky second last time and the selection is only just preferred to Robbie Power's mount, while Fridaynightlights would be seriously feared if putting in a better round of jumping this time.
