Nina Carberry's mount Shadow Catcher has been racing over jumps and has no real form on the Flat for a very long time. Strait Of Zanzibar makes a quick reappearance after scoring at Dundalk on Sunday for which he's penalised. He'll be difficult to beat despite a huge weight though CASH OR CASUALTY looks the one to be on. He also arrives with a victory behind him having scored a deserved success at Bellewstown and with Patrick Mullins booked he can complete a double and gain the tenth victory of his career. It's hard to know what Swiss Cross is doing here as he's trained at Newmarket but Katie Walsh has been booked so presumably he'll attract support.
