Hard to make a case for those at the head of the weights and preference is for JOLY MAKER on just a third start for the O'Neill yard after the move from the Bolger operation in Ireland. He shaped really nicely on his second start for the yard when only outpaced late on at Market Rasen and houses leading claims now over the same trip and ground. Adrian Heskin keeps the ride. Paddy Brennan is an eye-catcher of a booking for Irish raider and recent point-to-point winner Rudy Catrail and he's very much the one to note in the market. Kilmoganny has yet to score under Rules but is proving a consistent sort over fences and joins the shortlist off a tempting mark.
