Verdict
A huge field of moderate handicappers but we should get a good run from BENALMA and he's handed the vote. Pauline Gavin's charge has been chasing but produced a cracking run over timber when runner-up to the in-form Owenacurra Milan at Thurles and the extra half-mile here will be in his favour. Turnonthegas is on the same mark as when scoring at Wexford a year ago and there was a bit more encouragement last time while Eddie Zero is only 2lb higher than when successful at Downpatrick last March and looked on the way back to form at Navan. Up The Girls needs a thorough test of stamina, however, and could find the ground a little too lively unless there is further rain.
