This has attracted a maximum field but it won’t take much winning. The three of the top of the weights - Cats For Cash, Staged Engagement and Linger – all warrant a mention. Gordon Elliott also has Kibeggan second Monkeylou and the reserve Dandjira entered. Perth winner Callthebarman could also figure if getting a run from his reserve spot while Convara won a maiden on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week. AL SAKB also won at Ballinrobe last week, over timber, and could double his tally if the cheekpieces work a second time as Trevor Ryan takes off a valuable 7lb again. Roachdale House is not out of this but is hard to catch right.
