Jim Bolger has some big chances at the fixture, none more so than with MIDFIELD GENERAL (NAP). Still a maiden after 11 starts, he was having his first run since 2013 when a close third at Gowran on Saturday and with that under his belt can start making up for lost time. Seeking Truth has been well backed at Dundalk on his last two starts at the turn of the year and though disappointing he's shown his liking for this course and soft ground. The former Godolphin-trained Nabeel had his first start since June when fourth at Dundalk a fortnight ago and will have come on for the run while Diesel Ten arrives here on the back of a fine run over hurdles at Wexford last week.
