Jessica Harrington has the two highest rated here. Guiri earned his high number in Germany but hasn't done as well as expected over hurdles. Derek O'Connor has been booked while Jamie Codd is on board the stable's Sandhurst, a winner for Ballydoyle last October who has raced in very strong company the last twice. Monas Melody was conceding the winner 10lb when narrowly beaten at Clonmel earlier this month so goes on the shortlist though ZAYNUDIN landed a Gowran maiden in spectacular style when stepped up to this trip and after just six runs enters the could be anything category. The veteran jumper Castlegrace Paddy easily won a maiden over this trip at Killarney in June, his only start under Flat Rules.
