This may be a bit more competitive than the first division. Cedar Rapids’ best form this year has come in claimers and he’s switched stables since winning at Leopardstown. MULLACASH BUZZ (NAP) was just caught by Zaur, 5lb higher now, here last month. Jack Cleary can claim his full allowance today so the four-year-old effectively races off a 3lb lower mark and compensation awaits. Glandore Harbour remains unexposed and has shown some promise so is worth a market check with Rock Etoile possibly best of the rest.
