Johnny Murtagh has a hatful of winning chances today and Seven Summits will be fancied to go one better than his return effort behind Alaia at Tipperary. That race hasn't worked out too well though improvement is expected from the son of Danehill Dancer. MINSKY MINE made a promising debut behind Rain Forest at Navan in April and the winner and third won their subsequent races. Dermot Weld's son of Montjeu can only improve and gets the vote here. Tillahow made a good start to his career here in November but a long absence isn't ideal and Celtic Pageant, who almost caused a shock when running Golden Nugget close at Sligo two weeks ago, looks more of a threat.
