CAPTAIN POWER has a leading chance at the weights in a weak claimer. Ed Lynam’s charge should go close with a repeat of earlier placed efforts at Leopardstown and Fairyhouse.

Eacharn may have something to find on these terms but has been thereabouts here recently and was beaten less than a length over track and trip last time.
