OOR JOCK, who won this last year, has been running very well without quite getting there. He's slipped to his lowest mark for some time and can get back to winning ways. Shabra Emperor scored over this trip at Fairyhouse last month and has since been performing over a mile while Knights Templar has a similar profile though he's 9lb higher than his last success. Snap Click landed a lowly handicap at Gowran over a mile and has gone up 7lb but Annie Irish should have a chance as she stayed on strongly to score over slightly shorter at Limerick and has only been raised 3lb. Athassel is still a maiden after 19 starts but that should be put right soon judged by his fine run on his reappearance here last week.
