FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Anthony McCann went close with a 66/1 chance when Indian Raj was beaten just a nose at Naas during the week and his course and distance winner LITTLE CAMACHO can give a good account of herself here. The 6-year-old shaped well when fifth at Fairyhouse last time and Sam Ewing’s presence in the saddle is a valuable asset in this type of race. Fit For Function has been runner-up on three occasions since winning at Dundalk in April and, despite a wide draw, looks sure to run well again. Beleaguerment, who came home strongly when just failing to get up over a mile at Naas, is an infrequent winner but has been successful over this trip in the past and has to enter calculations along with Majestic Matriarch, who ran well when fifth at Killarney and might fare better coming back to this distance.
