FormscanBy Donal Murphy - WATCH THE WEATHER is hard to oppose after his easy win at Cork on Monday. The Ray Cody trained six-year-old went up 13lb for that success but will carry just a 7lb winners penalty here. The Kayf Tara gelding was making his handicap debut at the Mallow circuit and looks capable of further progress. Must Be Dreaming is given second preference. She has a course win to her name from May and ran a cracker to finish fifth in a novice at Galway last week. She went up 4lb for that effort and just qualifies for this contest on her new mark of 102. Serpolette sprang a surprise at Tramore last month and it'll be interesting to see how she fares with Jordan Gainford again on board. Handicap debutant Dinero Falso has definite claims with Richie Condon taking 7lb off, while Mutual Respect, Junior Bee and Zaccarela are others for the shortlist.
