Cappacurry Zak won this a year by 4 lengths ago from Wishmoor but has been in poor form recently and the runner-up, a winner at Limerick in December from today's rivals Lean Araig and Kavanaghs Corner, should have few problems reversing the form though the latter turned the tables when runner-up at Down Royal. SE MO LAOCH beat Wishmoor 4 lengths behind over the track and trip last February when conceding 8lb and will be better off here with his rider's claim taken into consideration so looks the one to beat. The 14-year-old Kruzhlinin, eight times a winner under Rules, has won 14 times between the flags.
