Going - Soft; changed to Soft to Heavy after Race 3. Showery

Formscan By Mark Nunan - None of these can be ruled out in a tightly-knit affair with the powerhouse stables of Mullins and Elliott both doubly represented. Slight preference is for the Jimmy Mangan-trained Pure Steel who improved from his seasonal debut at Naas, where he finished behind subsequent Fairyhouse winner Jacob’s Ladder, to win readily over 2m at this venue. The Yeats gelding was a point-to-point winner at four and may be suited by this step up in trip. Dual course winner Predators Gold, preferred to Kappa Jy Pyke by Paul Townend, was the best of these over hurdles and won on chase debut over a longer trip at Navan, while The Enabler readily beat more experienced rivals at Fairyhouse. %0A%0A
