Cj Cregg has been beaten twice since completing a double at Limerick in June but she has place claims here and is preferred to stablemate Oakmont. Greenpanda was behind John McConnell’s at Roscommon earlier but has since gone close twice at Ballinrobe, though is creeping up the weights again. The three-year-old Olympic Honour is worth another try at this trip and so is Edification, not beaten far at both Naas and Sligo since winning over 1m2f at the former track. RIPS DREAM is 0-11 on Turf but has gone close on a couple of occasions in better races than this. He won over 1m4f at Dundalk last year so the potential is there. Contrapposto has outrun big odds at Gowran the last twice but remains winless since his two-year-old days.
