LIBERATE has fared better with the draw than at Galway and can provide Denis Hogan with a second successive win in this optional claimer. Mythical Rock rates an obvious threat on the back of his good effort in a handicap last time. Minaun View has a good record in claimers and is next on the list ahead of Ken Condon's Star of Beauty.
