Race preview
INISHMOT PRINCE made the breakthrough in this very contest 12 months ago and has won four more in the interim, with all his victories coming at Dundalk. James Ryan again takes the ride on the Tom McCourt-trained bay, with the 18-year-old apprentice seen to good affect in recent weeks at Dundalk, partnering three winners since the turn of the year. Collective Power was second to the selection 12-months ago and he re-opposes now. He has won twice since and was second on his most recent start earlier this month. Eddie Lynam trains Collective Power and he is also responsible for Bonny Power, who is given second preference. The 70-rated filly got off the mark over the course and distance just over a fortnight ago and it'll come as little surprise if she manages to follow-up. Tai Sing Yeh warrants respect, despite having to contend with top-weight, while it'll be interesting to see Gidwa, a three-time winner in the UK, fares on his Irish debut.
