Another huge field but only GOD'S COUNTY and Ted Dolly appeal as likely winners. The former didn't appear to be making progress after a bright start over hurdles but ran a very good race behind The Folkes Choice at Limerick last week and this looks his for the taking if repeating that effort. Ted Dolly's second to Letter Of Credit at Galway in October was his best run but he disappointed at Gowran last month and may have to settle for a place again. It's difficult to find an alternative to the leading pair but The Great Shanghai finished runner-up in a point-to-point in May and may have enough potential to snatch a minor berth.
