Johnny Murtagh returns from injury and will be anxious to get back on the winning trail. He's on board SHERZAM here and Tommy Carmody's filly really caught the eye behind Awakened Spirit at the Curragh - the extra furlong can see her gain her first victory. Randall's Alannah only had two rivals to beat at Sligo but did it well though the heavy ground may have aided her cause. Fromajacktoaking is tried in first-time blinkers and he's been coming up against useful rivals so has to be a threat while Horizon Sky hasn't done much wrong and ran well behind Einsteins Folly over this C&D last time.
