Verdict
It could pay to stick with KEOGHS BAR here. He's finally got his act together over fences and bids for hat trick after a couple of wins at Kilbeggan. Irene Monaghan's charge has risen 9lb, but he won a shade cosily last time and if anything this looks less competitive. Mr Bones has a tougher task after scoring at Tramore last time, but Coolharbour Breeze ran out an easy winner of a beginners chase at the same track recently and he could figure. Good Decision was winning for the first time in 12 starts over fences when scoring here three weeks ago so he'll need to improve again, while The Baler's improved recent form has been in hunter chases.
