16/1
4-time C&D winner. Eleven defeats since taking this race last year. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 35 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a revival but it's possible in the new headgear.

Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner maiden (8/11) at this course (5f) 37 days ago by length from Crystal Luna. Not dismissed back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Mehman (9/4), Mint Man (10/3), Crystal Luna (4/1), Heart Of Darkness (9/2), Inishmot Prince (15/2), Genesis (10/1), Dream Today (16/1)

Verdict

MEHMAN just failed in a stronger race here 5 weeks ago, continuing his good run of form at Dundalk, and can deservedly get his head back in front. Last year's 1-2 Dream Today and Inishmot Prince are feared.
