Mystic Embarr won here on New Year's Day 2018 and hasn't had much racing subsequently, though found 3m1f stretching his stamina at Kilbeggan. ZACCARELA (NAP), the youngest in the race, has to carry a big weight on his handicap debut after his second to King Alex in a Ballinrobe maiden. However, the winner came out and won a Navan handicap on Sunday and will probably be reassessed to a mark of around 114 so Philip Fenton's charge can take this off 95. Mrs Pops showed glimpses of ability at Sligo while Our Majella didn't take to fences at Tramore after a couple of placed efforts over timber.
