Listowel bumper scorer MISTER PESSIMISTIC gets the vote to provide Henry de Bromhead with a second successive win in this race, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Grey Jude wasn't too far behind the selection at Listowel and may provide the main threat unless the betting speaks in the favour of newcomers such as Master Haku, Lar Na Pairce and/or Ready For Road.
