FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - This has been a reasonably kind race to punters over the past eight years, with three winning favourites and some other nicely fancied winners.J P McManus launches a 9-strong assault.Remarkably eight different trainers-Joseph O'Brien (Ivanovich Gorbatov and Plinth),Noel Meade,Des McDonogh,John Quinn,Nick Gifford,Gavin Cromwell,Tom Mullins and John Kiely are responsible for the green and gold army.The best that the Limerick man's five could manage in 2018 was when Oskar Knight (goes for Tom Mullins and Niall Madden this time) came home in eighth place,weight of numbers obviously being no guarantee of success.The aforementioned Plinth (13th) is back again too.Otherwise these are new McManus contenders for a prize-fund upped to 120,000 Euros.Rashaan heads the weights for the extended two and three quarter miler,and he's not the only previous Galway scorer in the line-up.There are seven track victors in the mix.One that hasn't even run at the western venue in the past but warrants consideration is SPADES ARE TRUMPS for McManus and Gavin Cromwell.McManus was as ever sporting in defeat following the loss of his beloved Limerick hurlers to Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Semi-Final at Croke Park last Saturday.A week on and he could see Spades Are Trumps,home-bred by his wife Noreen,get the job done under rising young star of the weigh-room, Darragh O'Keeffe.A win for the Yeats six-year-old would certainly be keeping it in the family.His year-older full-brother Ilikedwayurthinkin sluiced up for the same connections here on Wednesday,landing a significant gamble in the process.Ilikedwayurthinkin is actually set to turn out quickly under a mandatory penalty at the final stage of the festival on Sunday,so it could be a profitable few days for those involved all told.
