Mick The Jiver is unbeaten in two starts around here, the latest in December, though he's 7lb higher. Cappacurry Zak has returned from a spell between the flags in very good form, following a comfortable victory on heavy going at Limerick with another very good effort at Down Royal. WISHMOOR hasn't won for a very long time but was only headed in the closing stages over the track and trip on testing ground a couple of weeks ago and can go one better. Ice Cold Soul will be tackling the trip for the first time under Rules but has always looked as though he would be suited and can get into the action.
