Formscan By Donal Murphy - DASMYHOSS catches the eye here with just nine stone ten on his back. Second to the progressive Baba Boom at Limerick last month, the Robbie McNamara trained five-year-old since ran at Killarney on Wednesday. He had a far from clear passage there, keeping on well in the closing stages to finish fourth. Serena Brotherton is a positive jockey booking, with the experienced UK based rider making the journey across the Irish Sea for this one ride. Minnie Dahill is given second preference after easily dismissing her rivals at Bellewstown. She came home six lengths clear of Political Policy there, and that one has since won twice over hurdles. The Ted Walsh trained four-year-old went up eleven pounds for that success, but still looks well-treated off a mark of 68, with Jodie Townend again taking seven pounds off. Batts Rock won on debut for Gordon Elliott at Bellewstown recently, but has a lot weight to carry here and is opposed. Four time course winner Breathe Easy was second in this race twelve months ago, and he should give a good account of himself with Maxine O'Sullivan taking seven off.
