Freewheelin Dylan won this a year ago and had his big day at Fairyhouse in April when landing the Irish National. He's 11lb higher than a year ago but Richie Deegan's claim is invaluable. The versatile Jerandme won over 2m4f here last July then completed a hat-trick by scoring on the Flat and back over fences at Sligo. He's run well this season without quite getting there and is closely matched with The Echo Boy, who beat him two lengths in the Connacht National at Roscommon with Nick Lost the same distance back in third. Denise Foster is mob-handed here and the veteran KRUZHLININ looks the main hope for the yard. Fourteen-times a winner between the flags and six times over regulation fences, his second to Shady Operator in the Killarney National was a fine effort and a 19lb pull can enable him to turn the tables and land this. Uisce Beatha looks held on that run
