Verdict
Most of the top young riders in Ireland are involved here and some are still able to claim including Paddy Harnett, whose 4lb should help Easily to get involved. Jake Coen hasn't been riding long but has made a big impression and the 7lb he claims on board Star Image could make a difference as Tom Mullins' filly has been improving with each run this campaign. Sea Sessions landed a 1m2f Fairyhouse claimer then found 1m6f stretching her stamina at Navan but this can go to SASSIFIED. A winner over a mile here in July, he has no problems with this trip judging by his runs in the spring and Danny Sheehy is an experienced rider.
