Cork Citizen had been a tad frustrating prior to winning narrowly at Ffos Las and may be worth opposing here off a 5lb higher mark. PAIR OF JACKS (NAP) tries 3m for the first time but should be suited. He has a very decent strike-rate and this looks a little bit easier than recent tests. There are no stamina concerns surrounding Cobajayisland and Chicago Outfit likes it here but Beeves looks high enough in the weights now and Buachaill Alainn might need this.
