SALLAGH CURLY (1) promising type yet to be beaten in three starts. Last start won by a space scoring by 8 lengths at Enniscorthy in a handy 28.78. Expected to go close again.

HOPES TEDDY (3) has a strong record this trip with nine wins and three placings from 16 starts. Was out of placings last time (22.27) at Dundalk in a SS0, finishing fifth and beaten 16 lengths. Can feature in the finish. MAGICAL MAJOR (4) has a solid strike rate at this distance.
