Curragh Golan finished closer at Tramore last time and may be involved once again. But MOSSY ISLAND was making his handicap debut when fourth at Down Royal a fortnight ago and, with further progress expected, he gets the token vote in an unappealing contest.

Icelip may be capable of better than we've seen so far now handicapping for the first time.
