A real trappy contest for punters where it oftens pays to side with an unexposed improving horse.
*Favourites have a shocking record, and those carrying more than 11st can also usually be ruled out as all the winners in the last decade have carried less.
*The contest is usually run at a break neck pace for the whole 3m journey, so stamina is vital
*No trainer has farmed the race on a regular basis, and the Irish do not have a particularly good strike rate.
