Approach The City has won two claimers at Dundalk this year but was well beaten in a Sligo handicap in May. Navorrosse scored on yielding ground at Cork then found the going much too fast at Leopardstown so some rain would aid his cause.

Blue Raven dead-heated for a Naas handicap on good ground then found soft going against him at Killarney.
