John Feane has booked the in-form Shane Crosse again for Midnitemudcrabs, who is 2lb better off for a nose defeat by the Danny Sheehy-ridden Lady Scrathach over the course and distance last month. The pair are very closely matched again and difficult to separate but have very little in hand of third-placed Kudbegood, who will be ridden by another in-form apprentice, Shane Crosse's brother Nathan. While the trio have obvious chances they may be battling for the places behind GATSBY CAP. Jonjo Stack's colt, a winner at Dundalk in April, has been narrowly beaten in all three subsequent starts and regular partner Andrew Slattery can make good use of his 2lb claim and land this. The lightly-raced Smile Ahead makes her handicap debut after three runs at Dundalk and has the experienced Ben Coen on board.
