Very little form to go on here but THE NAMES JOCK (NAP) made a fine start for new connections when runner-up to the in-form Cuban Hope at Navan and won't need much more from just 1lb higher. The winner's yard is represented by Paisean, though she's failed to sparkle while Palabres disappointed in her last two starts after looking a likely winner initially. Me Well hasn't been beaten far in either start at Dundalk this year but Gatsby Cap was beaten in a Dundalk claimer a month ago. Muntahez has shown glimpses of ability though has a big weight to carry.
