This looks to be between POMME and Mizen Master . Aidan Coleman's mount edged preference due to her stylish performance over C&D last time out, and the fact that due to her mares allowance she carries only the standard weight allotted for 5yo+ geldings. The ground shouldn't be an issue and it would be no surprise to see her complete a double at this course. That said, the second-named shouldn't have any issues with the tight turns at this course, and ran very well in defeat at Bangor when he was last seen. Jonjoela could be a distant third best based on his performance on his rules debut last time.
