CONFIDE, a dual winner for David O'Meara, was conceding 10lb when beaten five lengths by San Adreas at Dundalk in February and the winner is now rated 102 so James McAuley's charge looks to have the advantage here. Chessman is rated 7lb behind the selection having been running well in handicaps but meets on level terms with Sam Ewings claim taken into consideration. Flyin Hawaiian has only been lightly-raced and Ger Lyons likes these claimers as does Denis Hogan, whose Turbine was only narrowly beaten in a Galway handicap last week. Course and distance winner Fly Girl may prove best of the remainder.
