In depth
Verdict
Few of these can be reasonably fancied but CALL OF THE LOON came close to losing his maiden tag over fences at Downpatrick and won't need to improve much to take this off just 1lb higher. Railway Muice, who is 0-32, was placed four times in succession over fences last summer so is no forlorn hope while dual hurdles winner Something Sweet's big weight is offset by Liam Quinlan's claim. Bitview Colin's yard is in outstanding form and the up-and-coming Shane Fitzgerald is an interesting booking with his 7lb claim. His mount ran well at Kilbeggan and looks the main threat.
