Race preview
A number of these look to have chances, so ARBOURFIELD receives what can only be a tentative vote. The son of Moss Vale never seems to run a bad race and top jockey Pat Smullen could boot him home, just as he did at Dundalk two runs ago. Tom Dooley has notched up three wins during the last 18 days and is unlikely to go down without a fight, while recent C&D scorer Cappadocia and the nicely-weighted Harry Speed, who was only beaten a head at Gowran when last sighted, are just a couple more with claims.
