ZELOS DREAM (NAP) is a rare winner but Gary Halpin managed to galvanise him into action at Gowran and he's still on a very lowly mark despite a 4lb rise so can complete a double. It's a long time since Green Dragon ran and he'll probably need this before returning to hurdles but the lightly-raced Crecora has run two good races at Killarney this summer and doesn't look overburdened. Shukhov is consistent enough but doesn't win often so the main threat may arrive in the shape of Love The Feeling, a winner over hurdles at Roscommon a couple of weeks ago and on a very lowly mark on the Flat. Halarath was engaged to run in a similar race at Wexford yesterday.
