Formscan By Donal Murphy - GREAT ISLAND gets the nod in this wide-open heat. The eight-year-old provided Ethan O'Sullivan with a memorable breakthrough success over the course and distance in September. An easy 16-length winner on that occasion, he had the reopposing Glenabo Bridge back in third. While disappointing on his last two starts at Fairyhouse and Limerick respectively, the selection might be able to bounce back to his best, returning to the scene of his sole success to date. A case can be made for many others, with Knockaneleigh Girl given second preference. A wide margin winner of a point-to-point at Loughrea in October, she makes her debut in handicap company now, and it'll be interesting to see how she fares. Politicise, Pirate Island, Dgalwaygallivantor and Carlas Big Jim are all sure to have plenty of supporters, with the latter a decisive winner at Clonmel last month. While both consistent sorts, the trip looks on the short side for Cher Why Not and Cosmo Renfro.
