Morning Approach had been in excellent form before beating APPLE OF HIS EYE over the track and trip but the latter has much the better of the weights here and should turn the tables and land this. Chaos Control has only won at Dundalk but has been runner-up twice here in recent weeks while Church Mountain found an extended 1m1f too far at Ballinrobe after winning comfortably over this trip at Limerick. Elzaam Blue started off with a double at Dundalk but hasn't made the expected progress while Mulgrave is another dual Dundalk winner without a Turf victory. Tyrconnell is a six-times all-weather winner but 0-17 on Turf. A couple at the bottom of the handicap catch the eye - Might And Mercy with Colin Keane on board and Deuteronomy making his handicap debut.
