In depth
Verdict
Jaguar Paw was only headed inside the final furlong over 7f at the Curragh last time so dropping back slightly in distance may well suit and he'll be fancied to go one better. But last week's Fairyhouse third CHILLIE BILLIE also looks well drawn and has Denis Linehan's claim in his favour again. The seven-year-old can defy top weight on this occasion as he is also preferred to Gowran winner William Ashford, who is 10lb higher now. Apache Gold probably has each-way claims but Oor Jock's losing run now extends to more than 50 races.
