FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up on debut when sent off a well backed favourite here last month, COUNTY CARLOW can go one better. A son of Saxon Warrior, the Paddy Twomey-trained three-year-old showed signs of greenness before running on nicely to take minor honours. With the benefit of that experience and, stepping up an extra furlong, he should be hard to beat on this occasion. Just touched off on his introduction over course and distance in November, Grand Premiere also holds leading claims. With the winner of that race well regarded by connections, he may have been unlucky to bump into an above average maiden. Twice-raced colt Kalir should also be competitive in what has the potential to be a decent race.

For three years old only, maidens at starting
Weights - 9st 8lbs. Fillies allowed 5lbs.
