A dire contest in which few make much appeal. Like A Demon has been thereabouts in his last four and will be fancied to recoup Naas losses, despite a further 3lb rise. It’s possible that Wind And Reign will show a bit more now handicapping while Brosna George was third off this mark at Fairyhouse in December and Davy Russell keeps faith with Ross O’Sullivan’s gelding. COOLE CRAFT (NAP) had every chance when hampered and unseating his rider at the second-last at Fairyhouse last week. That followed on from a decent fourth at Tramore and he should go close here if that mishap hasn’t left its mark.
