Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneFour wins in a row over fences has resulted in DOWNTHECELLAR going from a mark of 88 to 122. The Edward O'Grady trained gelding will now try to exploit his much lower rating of 87 over flights. Paul Townend has been aboard the son of Arcadio for his last two wins and the champion jockey again takes the ride. Berliet Express was a shock 50/1 winner at Kilbeggan last month, but it will come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up here. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding came from off the pace at the Co Westmeath venue, eventually coming home an easy eight-length winner. Mama Tried is another recent winner in the line-up and she is sure to have plenty of supporters with Shane Mulcahy taking a valuable 7lb off. Top-weight Heliers Bay warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Offaly Star, Jovial Jack and Amlad.
