Laytown

Having gone close on his previous visit to Laytown, EXPOUND is taken to go one better and land the finale. He ran a cracker at Galway before another big run over timber and given that he's proven here, there's no obvious reason why he won't go well again. Jungle Cove benefitted from a strong pace when successful in this race last year and could be a threat again if they go hard. Harry The Rogue arrives in fine form and will be a big threat to all if he gets a run (second reserve). [Phill Anderson]
