Liam Gilligan's claim is a bonus for Mindsmadeup, who has been running well over shorter trips without quite getting there. He's won on good going in the past so a big run is anticipated. Dallas Cowboy has never won in a dozen starts over fences though he's another who will enjoy the conditions. He finished 10l behind Robin De Roost at Punchestown a year ago and is 10lb better off so should get much closer. SE MO LAOCH is still a maiden though did pass the post first at Leopardstown in March only to lose the race in the stewards' room. He's since found 2m7f on heavy going at Clonmel stretching his stamina and can gain compensation here. Don't Let Go has been in excellent form and has to be a major threat after just failing to outstay Take The Cash at Lilbeggan last month.
