Most of these arrive in top form including CHOSEN DREAM, who just failed to concede Camillas Wish 12lb at Down Royal. A nine times winner between the flags, he's reunited with Derek O'Connor and is handed the vote. Mullaghmurphy Blue was conceding 7lb to Cant Pay Wont Pay when beaten two lengths here last time but the revised weights give him an obvious chance of reversing the form. Eddies Miracle has won his last three between the flags in very convincing style, though this is much tougher and Clondaw Frisby may provide more of a threat. He won a similar race here in March and can't have been right when last of three and beaten a long way at Loughanmore last month.
