FormscanBy Donal Murphy - INDIANA ROSE might be able to provide Jack Kearney with his first racecourse success in this very competitive contest. From Navan, the teenager gave Effernock Fizz a very polished ride to finish second at Bellewstown last week. He now teams-up with Indiana Rose for Pat Martin, with this daughter of Elzaam a winner at Naas in August. She has failed to follow-up in three starts since but will be helped here by Kearney's seven pound claim. Ceapach Rua is given second preference with Daniel King, who is another very promising apprentice, in the saddle. The Co Cork native made the breakthrough aboard Malbas at Killarney on Saturday and followed-up on his very next ride, scoring aboard Plum Perfect at Tipperary on Tuesday. Both of those wins were for Denis Hogan, with Ceapach Rua also trained by the Tipperary maestro. Coffeemeanscoffee beat Ceapach Rua at Cork and the Tom McGuinness trained six-year-old re-opposes now. The dual-winner is likely to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist are Cork runner-up Tullypole Annie, course and distance winner Harry's Hill and top-weight Showmolina.
