FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Jim Bolger and Gavin Ryan teamed-up to win this race twelve months ago and they might be able to strike again now with TROSSACHS. The chestnut son of New Approach appears to be progressing with each run and got off the mark at Limerick recently. He makes his debut in handicap company now and looks well-treated on a mark of 77. Fellow handicap debutant Recent Revelations is given second preference. Third on his last two starts, the Gordon Elliott trained colt looks capable of making his presence felt here with Shane Crosse booked to ride. Top-weight De Name Escapes Me won at Roscommon on his last start and is likely to have plenty of supporters here with Oisin Orr in the saddle. Noble Expression is an interesting contender on debut for Keith Watson, while others for the shortlist in this fiercely competitive contest are Moktamel (third in this race last year), Walking On Glass, Olympic Honour and Sweet Dime.
