Cloonainra heads this competitive 15-runner Listowel contest over two and a half miles on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Crescent Moon on ratings and possessing the form to suggest he can see out this demanding trip well. Crescent Moon represents the most pressing threat and will need watching, while Grange Walk and Drop A Threat, both a few pounds further back, cannot be dismissed in a field of this size. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but on balance Cloonainra holds the strongest overall case. The selection is Cloonainra.
