Going - Good, Good to Yielding in places. Overcast

Formscan By Donal Murphy - It might be worth taking a chance on CEOL DRAIOCHTA in this competitive affair. Beaten by just half-a-length on debut at Ballinrobe in August, he was out of his depth when falling in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on his most recent outing. Starting off in handicap company now, he should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality, while it's worth noting that his trainer has saddled three winners from just eight runners so far this year. Twice placed at this Co Westmeath venue last season, Lynchy Boy is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Redcliff Glen is another of interest. A runner-up on his penultimate start at Leopardstown, High Honour will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Naas if he is to feature, while Marelly, Fair Damsel and Falcon Park are other leading hopes.
