PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
VITAL PLOT was narrowly beaten by Sebadee at Ballyraggett and then won well at Borris last time and looks sharp at this discipline and will take all the beating. The fact that he comes here fresh gives him a slight edge over The Last Derby who was impressive last Sunday at Castletown. Finea makes his Open debut but won well last Sunday while Carlanstown is making his seasonal reappearance and would be a threat if fully fit.
