Tasaaboq has won three times here but all over 6f. He’s run 22 times over this longer trip and never got his head in front so may be vulnerable again. Irish raider OOR JOCK (NAP) runs here for the first time since March but has a really good record on the track and won this last year. He’s back on a decent mark and didn’t fare badly at Dundalk last time – Ross Coakley’s claim is an added bonus. Frangarry, Spirit Of Gondree and Night Shadow could all figure granted luck in-running.
