FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Eoin McCarthy is yet again strongly represented, saddling three of the 16 set to take part. Placed on three of her last four starts, his Regards To Rose is sure to have plenty of supporters on her first try in handicap company. No worse than fourth in five visits to this venue, GENERAL CLERMONT is the selection. Successful in the first divide of this contest back in 2023, he was a solid third at Tramore last week. Gekkota is another who ran well at Tramore, with this one beaten by less than a length-and-a-half when fourth on Sunday. Previously trained by the late Edward O'Grady and starting off now for Denis Hogan, Music Of Life, who is a sister to Nick Rockett, is of definite interest, while Give Him A Chance, Georginas Jet and Kilkee Bay are others for the shortlist.
