Legendary Times is the only C&D winner in the line-up and looks certain to give a good account despite being beaten when fancied at Dundalk. Beart's only success and best form has been on Polytrack while Wrekin Rock has a 9lb rise to overcome after his victory at the Curragh. TO THE SKY looks to have made progress recently and followed a good run over slightly shorter here with a fine effort over hurdles. There should be more to come from him and Ricky Whelan's claim can enable him to gain his first success. Dearest scored over 1m4f at Sligo in August and finds this trip on the short side.
