FormscanBy Michael Graham - ASK CORY can follow up on his course and distance victory last month. The assessor has handed this strong stayer a 7lb rise, however, Hugh Morgan negates most of it with his 5lb claim. Oscar Thyne reverts back to fences after a couple of unplaced runs over hurdles. He landed a beginners' chase on his last start in this sphere at Clonmel in April. He has to be respected after that victory by almost three lengths. Eimear has the ability to get into contention. She ought to come on plenty from a mid-division finish at Kilbeggan which was her first run back off a seven-month break.
