PROSECUTION boasts the strongest form in the contest having been very consistent throughout this year and this looks an ideal opportunity for Johnny Murtagh's gelding to get his head in front. Rippling Waters will have been specifically bought to run here by the Melbourne 10 syndicate and is respected along with Kendwar, who has form at Dundalk which could come in handy.

KODY RIDGE was claimed after finishing runner-up at Beverley to the superior rated Withernsea last month, having appeared to benefit from a change to front-running tactics in first-time cheekpieces, and a repeat of that effort can see him get his head back in front. Many Dreams returns from a 324-day absence and represents Gavin Cromwell for the first time, while Pulsating, a stable companion of the selection, looks best of the remainder.

FLORENCIO and Acrux both make a fair amount of appeal on their first outings for Jamie Osborne with the pair, like so many racing here, bought after their latest starts. The clear preference, though, goes to the former due to the handicapper using their turf marks, and the son of Equiano could potentially be a handicap blot with his all-weather mark in the UK being a stone higher. Lisa O'Neill takes an extremely valuable 3lb off which further boosts his chances. The latter has the assistance of Patrick Mullins in the saddle and should go close having proven very consistent throughout this year for David O'Meara, while Markhan could be in the mix for Gordon Elliott.

Muroor won over hurdles at Downpatrick when last seen and, despite loving quirky tracks such as these, might just find the dramatic drop in trip too much to handle. Waqaas was deemed good enough to run in a competitive Ascot handicap when last seen and makes his stable bow for Jamie Osborne, but this can go the way of ROYAL ADMIRAL. He has gone well the last twice in competitive handicaps and has Jamie Codd on board for the first time.

TOGOVILLE was far from disgraced when behind some regally-bred sprinters at Dundalk last time and should appreciate these calmer shores. The eight-year-old is 1-1 at this venue and the booking of Danny Mullins certainly catches the eye. Letmestopyouthere and Monumental Man make their stable bows for a UK handler who loves runners at this meeting and both warrant market checks, while Captain Dion is also noted now dropping in distance.

MY GOOD BROTHER is a course and distance winner and this is likely to have been on his agenda for quite some time. The nine-year-old returned to form when second at Dundalk last time and the booking of Colin Keane once more is certainly a positive. Pillar did it gamely when scoring at Bellewstown last time, while the reopposing Little Clarinet (second) and Guiding Star (third) both have ground to make up on that rival but should still run respectably.
