Despite carrying top-weight the Richard O'Brien-trained MUSALSAL can win for the second time since racing resumed last month. The four-year-old won at this venue earlier this month before a solid effort behind Stellaire Enfant at Limerick eight day ago off a 5lb higher mark. The handicapper has given the Shamardal gelding a chance for victory again at the expense of the Dermot Weld-trained Scorpion Black who appears to be returning to form and Hidden Spark, who has produced some positive efforts since racing resumed for trainer Di Love. Rockview Roman and Lady Boomerang should not be taken lightly.
