Tyrconnell won over 6f at Laytown in September but will find this tougher raised 6lb. Dubai Rainbow is preferred having won over track and trip before placing in a claimer here while an apprentice was taking 10lb off Clonville’s back when she placed at the track last week ahead of Little Camacho. KHAFAAQ’s challenge petered out in the closing stages over a mile here last time but he was beaten less than a length over course and distance before that, when ahead of Midnitemudcrab, and Andrew Slattery’s charge is fancied to go one better. The reserve Count Of Carabass won here just two days ago but carries 6lb extra.
