Most of the leading amateurs have rides here and Jody Townend's claim could just swing things the way of ZAHEE. A winner at Dundalk last Wednesday, he never got involved on a return visit on Friday but can race from a 3lb lower mark, plus his rider's allowance, so can get back on the winning trail. Barry O'Neill is on board Skontonovski, three times a winner in recent weeks though possibly a bit high in the weights, while Jamie Codd has picked recent Gowran winner Oh Purple Reign of Gordon Elliott's pair. Derek O'Connor rides dual Dundalk winner Meishar, who is greatly respected, while Patrick Mullins is on board Adamaris, a winner at Killarney in August.
