Formscan By Tom Weekes - A tight contest and LOFGREN is a hopeful choice to defy top weight. He has shaped like a useful horse on a few occasions and comes here fit and well and open to more progression having won nicely at Cork recently. Bay Of Freedom returned to his best when winning at Wexford last month and has solid claims from his mark and with progression also likely. Bringerofthedawn hasn't yet been issued with his official rating but bolted up in an ordinary maiden at Ballinrobe before again running well over fences subsequently. He cannot be dismissed along with Notwhatiam who won on debut for his new yard at Limerick and can also progress. Delegate had been frustrating prior to his recent Kilbeggan win but should be able to again figure while Ah Littleluck is down in trip following his maiden hurdle win recently and might need to improve to win.
