Mctaggart gained his first victory on his 18th start under Shane Grey at Limerick last month and the combination can go well again in this moderate contest despite a 5lb rise. Andalucia Lady is the definite form pick and looks well treated but she hasn't been seen for over a year so there must be some doubts about her fitness in these conditions. IRISH REEL has only won once in 25 starts but has been dropped in the weights accordingly and there were signs at Naas last time that his turn was near. He'll get a good ride from Marc Monaghan and is handed the vote. Enough Is Enough was just in front of him at Naas but may be better suited by a shorter trip. On The Loose, the only C&D winner, is another to keep an eye on under Colin Keane.
