Race preview
A ready winner over C&D 16 days ago, it looks best to side with the unexposed MORNING SUN. The son of Muhaarar appeared to relish the switch to front-running tactics on that occasion and a similar showing here could see him defy a 6lb rise in the handicap. Irish raider Theophilos appeals as his main danger following last month's Tipperary success, while Innse Gall heads the remainder, although Zarabanda should not be underestimated.
