Kolumbus is still carrying a penalty for his 2016 bumper victory despite having been beaten in ten starts over hurdles where he's been very disappointing. City Limits has had a run at Dundalk since his third place at Punchestown last month while GENERALISATION has run his two best races over this track and trip. The latter just gets the vote as He's Ok was on the retreat when falling at the last here last month and State Of Cognac looks as though he needs further, a remark that also applies to Iconic Lady.
