In depth

Verdict

GINSBURG won a 7f handicap in style here earlier this month and though hit with a 10lb rise Sean Bird can claim an extra 3lb this time. Juyush completed a Dundalk hat-trick at the backend of 2020 and is back on his last winning mark with Colin Keane booked. Monzoon is 11lb higher than when landing a course and distance handicap in August while further rain would suit Starting Monday, who beat a big field of handicappers on testing ground here last year. Aingeal Dorcha is up 10lb for a comfortable victory at Gowran while Plunkett is in good form and would also enjoy some cut in the ground. Chicago Bear and Coins Cross are others to note in a wide-open finale.
