The lightly-raced LASOSCAR is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having gained an impressive victory earlier this month for which a 9lb rise looks about right. There's more to come from Liam Cusack's charge and David Mullins rides again. Craig Star had been running well before justifying support at Tramore and it will be a surprise if he's not in contention but Phar Island appeared to be feeling his previous fall when well beaten at Ballinrobe. Captains And Kings has twice run well over this trip at Sligo and can't go much lower in the ratings so is added to the short-list.
