Eglish has won four times here, the latest in November from 5lb higher and he ran a bit better last time. Red Cymbal is on a long losing run but was a bit unlucky at Bellewstown last time and may be running into form. The front-running TAI SING YEH scored over an extended 7f at Roscommon and has led for a long way in his last two starts over that trip. This is a moderate handicap and he’s taken to gain his first track success. Collective Power is still a maiden but has gone well on the track but Beleaguerment is better over further these days.
