Ceyham and Haraz represent the Osborne raiding party with preference for the latter though he's had 24 starts without winning. Silk Cravat, who showed some potential for Simon Crisford, dropped back to the minimum in a handicap at the Curragh last time and produced his best form for Ger Lyons and that could be his best trip. DANDY ROCK hadn't shown much for a long time before a much-improved run behind Bien Chase in a Dundalk handicap where he was only beaten a head. A repeat of that would probably be enough in a poor contest.
