This is a low-grade handicap and none of the entries has won on the track. Outofcologne scored at Clonmel in December 2015 and might have completed a double at Punchestown a few days later but for falling at the last, though she hasn't run since and has changed stables. KILLAHARA CASTLE has been making good progress and followed a narrow defeat at Wexford with another on the same track so looks the one to be on. Robyns Approach had shown virtually nothing before a much-improved run at Wexford earlier this month and wouldn't need much more to get into contention along with Righty Rue, who wasn't far behind. Grey Mountain Mist has moved yards since returning to form at Thurles in November and is just 2lb higher than his only success to date. Omega Springs, a winner at Gowran in September, has been waiting for the better ground and providing there's no more rain can provide the main threat.
