FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Noel Meade has won this twice in the past three years and promising amateur Michael Kenneally again takes a handy 7lb off topweight Mick Collins after partnering him to finish second to a smart horse at Galway. Preference though is for CASTLEHEATH who had the speed to dead-heat in a competitive Flat handicap over an extended mile at the aforementioned festival at Ballybrit before finishing fourth in an all-aged handicap hurdle there later in the week. His pace should stand him in good stead back in four-year-old company. Shaboozee won in a lesser grade here last time but could easily improve further while connections of winter-ground winner Maxios Prime will be hoping for plenty of rain. %0A%0A%0A
