Emcon hasn't been seen since falling at the last when in contention at Limerick in the spring and may just need this. My Manekineko had the consistent Cecil Corbett behind when scoring at Tramore though had disappointed in a handicap previously. DOLLAR AND A DREAM (NAP) won so convincingly at the Galway Festival that an 8lb rise shouldn't be enough to prevent a follow-up as Golden Ticket has been alternating between hurdles and fences and is 12lb higher than his last victory over timber. But Nearest The Pin is 14lb lower than over the bigger obstacles so has to be considered.
