With the cheekpieces left off, CROAGH PATRICK wasted no time getting back to form when third at this course 8 days ago and he could be ready to return to winning ways over this shorter distance. He can see off the challenge of Follow Your Arrow who is respected back at this venue, while Cilluirid returned to form last time and lurks on dangerous mark.
