FormscanBy Michael Graham - KHADAASH will welcome a return to Dundalk. After a couple of third places here, he delivered over further in March which earned him a crack at a valuable handicap at Lingfield in April where he ran on for fifth. A run at Bellewstown towards the end of last month should have him primed for this assignment. Longclaw has had a productive time since switching back to Ireland and looks well worth another crack at the Polytrack. He finished out the back on his sole previous visit here, but showed an aptitude for all-weather tracks when finishing second at Newcastle, Wolverhampton and Kempton last year. With a win and three places accrued on Irish turf this year, he switches back to the sand in fine fettle. S'all Good Man has won two of his last four at this track and has an experienced apprentice on his back. Liberated Light and Killeemore Lad are also in the running for a cheque.
