BIG GOSSEY (NAP) has been a star for Charles O‘Brien winning five times at the Curragh and twice here. He is on a 7lb lower mark than on Turf and with Robert Whearty‘s claim to aid his cause can go in again. Dandyville was seven lengths behind him at the Curragh in September but has won over 7f here subsequently while Mickey The Steel completed a double on heavy ground at the Curragh and is just 2lb higher though his rider claimed 7lb that day. Hodd‘s Girl is a six-times course winner whose recent placed effort came in Listed company over a mile though she is just as effective over this trip. Apache Outlaw made his track debut earlier this month with a fine run behind Little Queenie, who was receiving 10lb.
