It's difficult to find one without a chance in this wide-open handicap. Split Ear had dropped to a lowly mark when landing a Ballinrobe handicap and, though 7lb higher, can still go well but Zaralabad suffered in the weights after scoring over 2m here and though running well enough at Down Royal has gone up again. The progressive Cyprusormilan was suited by a strong gallop when scoring over 2m6f at Killarney and, though 8lb higher, looks certain to be in the shake-up but Carlos Fandango will find this much tougher than the maiden he won on fast ground at Tramore. Cry For The Moon is very consistent and won't mind the ground nor the trip but this can go to DINGALING. Mick Hourigan's charge was behind Cyprusormilan at Killarney but that was his first run since October and he's since won on testing ground at Listowel. The assessor has done him no favours with a 10lb rise but he's a progressive type who can defy the extra.
