Barry O'Neill missed out on the winning ride on Pyrios at Loughnamore but he's his regular pilot and is back on board. MY OAKCLAHOME has a penalty for his narrow victory over the track and trip but he's in very good form and a potential improver so gets the nod. Crutches Lad wasn't too far away in third and has a weight advantage but looked to have every chance. Vital Island was beaten a long way into second on Punchestown's banks' course last time while after looking a very promising prospect after completing a hat-trick between the flags, Hi Murphy has gone backwards.
