Like Out On Friday in the first division, Mulzamm won a division of this last year but he is only one of three entries from Denis Hogan’s yard and Darkened may have a better chance at the weights today. Leopardstown third Khafaaq has claims but, like Rocky Dreams, doesn’t have a great draw while the hat-trick seeking Dance Emperor will have to defy a welter burden thanks to his penalty, though Sam Ewing’s claim will aid his cause. Wesley Joyce gave TAKE MY HAND a positive ride in an apprentices’ handicap at Naas last week. His mount has been raised 5lb but is effectively only 2lb higher with his young jockey able to claim the full 7lb today.
