Cleatus Poolaw scored on the point-to-point track at Fairyhouse in April and has joined Gordon Elliott, who has won this for an astonishing eight times in a row. BIG DEE attracted a bit of support behind hot favourite Luckinthecity at Listowel and looked the likely winner until caught close home. He can go one better with none of the remainder making much appeal. Joya Del Mar may prove best of them as she ran well at Tipperary in April though will probably be better over further.
