FormscanBy Donal Murphy - It's difficult to look beyond DEUTERONOMY. Making the breakthrough on his 29th start at Gowran in June, he since added wins at Leopardstown and Limerick respectively. Clearly in the form of his life at present, the six-year-old will once again be ably assisted by Nicola Burns who claims a valuable 7lb. Down to a mark of 71, Comfort Line looks capable of making an impact. He registered a ninth career win at Dundalk in March and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end here. Successful in this very contest 12-months ago, it'll be interesting to see how Brewel Hill fares, while others for the shortlist are Roscommon runner-up Stormie Outlook and Pat Murphy's Mythical Rock (first time cheekpieces).
