Verdict
Dalvey is a four-times track winner who has scored from higher marks while Cold Steel is 2-3 on the track and only a pound higher than his last success. LONGCLAW has only had one run here but has been going well on Turf and was conceding 16lb when beaten a neck by Jabbar at Roscommon when Luke Short was a disappointing favourite. Killarney maiden winner Liberated Light could find this on the short side, a remark that could also apply to winning hurdler Killeemore Lad, but S'all Good Man is a dual course and distance winner who ran well on his last visit in July.
