FormscanBy Alan Magee - CLIARA won twice for John McConnell and the mare showed promise over varying trips for current connections this year including when third to Jungle Cove over course and distance before scoring in good style at Naas last week. Jamie Powell again claims a valuable 10lb and she gets the vote to follow up in what appears a weaker race. It’s probably best to put a line through the latest run of Plunkett at Roscommon after meeting interference. The Gleneagles gelding previously indicated he’s well up to winning one of these with three consistent efforts although this longer trip may not be ideal. Leviosa was having just her second start for Seamus Fahey when causing a 33/1 shock over course and distance last month and is another to consider.
