FormscanBy Michael Graham - CRAFTY GAEL catches the eye off a light weight. There was plenty of merit in his first two ventures into handicap company when he was a never-nearer sixth at Punchestown in January, before running well in second in a much better class of race over a similar trip at this track. Nemean is likely to be popular after staying on to get to within a neck of the winner at Wexford. That was on better ground, but he has form on yielding, yielding to soft in places. He gets a first-time tongue-strap. Dragon's Pass should be in there pitching in addition to Thurles-winner Mahlers Cove and Take My Hand.
