BROD NA HEIREANN didn't really build on his fourth to Windsor Park at Leopardstown a year ago but this doesn't look a strong contest and he's probably worth one more chance getting 7lb from last month's course and distance winner Toby Lerone, who has been pulled up back over fences since. Haydock third Celldomfed should be capable of better and likewise Lakeshore Lady, with Zephyros Bleu and Ceann Sibheal looking best of the rest.
