EIGHT TILL LATE (NAP) hasn't won for two years but has dropped in the ratings accordingly and showed his turn isn't far away with a very good run at Ballinrobe so gets the nod. Macs Legend has yet to win a race in 15 starts though reverts to fences after a couple of decent efforts over timber to restore his confidence. Pulled Mussel looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Naas in January but burst a blood vessel on his next start a few weeks later and hasn't been seen since. Dallas Cowboy keeps changing stables and was very disappointing when well supported at Kilbeggan and though Urtheoneiwant didn't run badly at Limerick last time a career strike-rate of 1-36 doesn't inspire confidence.
