There may only be nine runners in this but most have some sort of chance. Araqeel was a progressive sort last year and Mizaah has been threatening to pick up the winning thread again recently. CLUB WEXFORD has picked up a penalty for winning at Cork on Tuesday but Jim Bolger is keeping him going while the ground remains on the fast side of good and he can score again. Not A Bad Oul Day is another arriving in excellent form and Secret Wizard also won last time out. Shepherd's Purse is running well enough but needs some help from the handicapper.
