Midnitemudcrabs is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and led for a long way when tackling a mile here last time so has to be respected. Boxer Dunford gained his third victory at Dundalk earlier this month but has yet to reach a place in nine starts on Turf. NAM has won twice over the trip at Dundalk but it was his latest effort, when staying on strongly over slightly shorter at the Curragh, that points to his obvious chance here. Full Shilling has done connections proud having won eight times including at Tipperary last time where he never looked in any real danger though an 8lb rise makes this more difficult. The lightly-raced Stormy Air hasn't won but ran very well over a mile here last time and won't be long getting on the scoresheet.
