FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - N'golo got back on track at Listowel last time after his Kilbeggan under-performance, and as the Mullins/Townend representative he'll have his supporters. It won't be very easy for him conceding weight away all round though, even if it's only a few pounds. Rightly or wrongly when it comes to Troytown Day this observer thinks Elliott and Meade, and there's no shortage to choose from when it comes to the powerhouse local camps. The suspicion is that Eskylane might be best of the Cullentra House trio, but for a selection four-year-old JESSE EVANS fits the bill. He was beaten in a Flat maiden at this venue seventeen days back. That's forgivable and he'd previously looked exciting at Listowel and Gowran. The youngster is one to have on side. Henry de Bromhead's Annexation is a big danger to all, and Jessica Harrington's Jungle Junction is respected too.
