Seven of these are winners with Aidan O'Brien and Jim Bolger both saddling a pair. The former has Cadamosto and THE ENTERTAINER engaged and though Ryan Moore chooses the former, an easy Dundalk winner, Seamie Heffernan was on board when the latter was impressive at Navan. Kevin Manning rides Cork winner Strapped rather than Celtic Times, who scored at Leopardstown last week but was beaten first-time-out by Masseto, who looks a threat. Castle Star, the winner of a Listed contest here, is another to consider and none of the remaining trio are easily dismissed.
