FormscanBy Donal Murphy - From his last eight starts DUFFYS HODEY has won four times and finished no worse than third. Successful at Limerick on Monday and set to go from 83 to 95 in the handicap, he'll carry just a 7lb winners penalty here and looks difficult to oppose. A dual course victor, Likable Chancer is the second choice. He was badly hampered by the eventual winner approaching the last when third over flights on Sunday, and with Michael Kenneally now claiming a valuable 7lb, he should give a good account of himself. It'll be interesting to see if first time cheekpieces work the oracle on Toor Moon, who has finished second on his last four outings, but is without a win in 31 starts. Top-weight Ag Obair Go Crua, point-to-point winner Castle Croiuil and first reserve Notimelikedpresent are others for the shortlist.
