FormscanBy John O'Riordan - TAURAN SHAMAN can give weight and a beating to his five rivals. The Jessica Harrington trained six-year-old has a tendency to miss the break but on a track such as this, he can get away with it. Shane Foley will be hoping that they go hard in front, setting the race up for a closer. Entropy had been in good form for his new connections prior to finishing down the field here last time. That was a better run than the bare form suggests, so it would be a mistake to discount him on the basis of that effort. Safecracker finished runner-up in two decent premier handicaps before disappointing at the Curragh last time. He is undoubtedly better than that run and has to be greatly respected in a first time hood.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
