FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Five of these clashed at Limerick last month and they filled positions second to sixth inclusive, with Macadam's Rock faring best, just a short head in front of Sassified. There is likely to be little between the quintet again here, as they marginally step-up in trip to a mile-and-a-half. Donnacha O'Brien saddles two interesting contenders in the shape of Moon Daisy and Snowy Owl. The latter was slow away on his most recent start at Naas, but kept on to finish a fair sixth. Paddy Hartnett takes a valuable seven pounds off his back here and the chestnut colt is given second preference. Handicap debutant EARL OF TYRONE is the selection, after catching the eye when a fast-finishing fourth on his most recent outing at the Curragh. That effort at headquarters was over a mile-and-a-quarter and this step-up in trip should play to his strengths. Top-weight Los Andes, Sir William Bruce with Ryan Moore aboard and Coolcullen, in first time cheek pieces, are others for the shortlist in this competitive contest.
