Khafaaq has been placed in a couple of maidens and though making his handicap debut with a big weight this isn't the strongest of races, despite the huge field. Midnitemudcrabs doesn't have the best strike-rate but had dropped to a lowly mark when runner-up to Annie Fior here last month and is only up 3lb. SCORPION BLACK is still a maiden after 11 starts but was staying on very strongly when runner-up over a mile at Naas and is only 1lb higher so gets the nod. Rince Deireanach bounced back to form at Leopardstown and has won from higher marks but Olly's Folly is still searching for a first victory after 26 starts having been caught on the line in a Clonmel claimer last time.
