A modest handicap complicated by the fact that Northern Acres, Royal Boru and Endeavor were all due to run here yesterday. Cruachan has been lightly campaigned and his only win came off a higher mark in 2013 but Richard Johnson's followers could be in for a profitable afternoon as his mount FIVE O'CLOCK TEA could be the one to beat. The French import has his first run over hurdles for Tony Martin but chased home the in-form Mallards In Flight over fences at Clonmel at the start of the month so is clearly in good heart. Diamond Gesture has run well here in the past so might have each-way claims while Maraweh is another with form at the track.
