Venalmar has lost his way after two excellent performances behind the classy pair Realt Dubh and Jessies Dream last autumn and it may be worth waiting until he shows signs of a return to form. Ruby Walsh, who was on board for both of those runs, takes the ride here on BLINDSPIN and Andrew Lee's charge, a faller when in the lead and travelling easily here last month, can gain compensation. Rare Commodity can go well if managing to stay on his feet while Gordon Elliott's Definite All Star is an intriguing chasing debutant having won over timber at Perth last month.
