Earls has completed a Roscommon double in similar company and is only 2lb higher so another big effort is anticipated. PLUNKETT has been in good form all season and was unlucky in-running behind Mister Wilson at Galway when Comfort Line was headed on the line. Paul Flynn's charge is taken to reverse the form and get back to winning ways. Comfort Line holds Howyoulikethat on an earlier Navan run but the three-year-old Eastern Wind may find it tough against experienced rivals. Shergar Cup winner Jungle Cove was well beaten in the Irish Cambridgeshire but is by no means out of this with his rider's huge claim a bonus.
