Gougane has only run four times over fences and is probably a couple of pounds high in the weights on what he has achieved to date, a remark that also applies to Club Oscar, who is still a maiden after a career total of 22 starts. Good Man Sir was fancied to score at Gowran in March but was struggling when coming to grief and while RAKAMASI is hardly the most consistent of performers he scored from just 3lbs lower at Thurles in November and a repeat of that performance may be good enough. Oola Lad looks the biggest threat as he was still in the lead when falling at the last at Wexford on St Patrick's Day.
