FormscanBy Michael Graham - SAMROGUE won this race last year and warmed up for another big run when beaten half a length into second at Cork in July. She is undoubtedly well handicapped as she competes off 10lb lower than when taking the honours 12 months ago. Interestingly, she has had the same preparation as last year when she was put away after winning at Cork in July. Jered Maddox ran a stormer in second at 33/1 in a big-field handicap at Cork earlier this month. This is his first visit to the beach, but he has extensive experience on the sand in Dundalk to call upon. Zig Zag Zyggy is on a very handy mark and Adam Caffrey takes 5lb off his back. This is a new trip for Barnhill Rose, but she arrives in winning form over an extended 7f at Roscommon. Teddy Boy, Rocky Dreams and Markievicz cannot be ruled out while reserve Eriskay would have a chance if getting a run.
