Verdict

A tough finale, Magna Cartor got a nice win at Galway on previous Flat start and while respected, may not be allowed to slip the field quite as easy this time. Venezia made a winning start over hurdles for this yard in June and advertised fair claims for this sort of prize when running on late over an inadequate trip at Leopardstown since. Boom Or Bush represents a stable going great guns but does have a stamina question to answer tackling this sort of trip for the first time. Neverushacon looks a big player on his run at the Curragh in July on the Flat but it might pay to side with Gordon Elliott's runner PRESENTING JULIO, four times a winner over jumps this year, and on a dangerously low weight now returned to the Flat if producing that type of effort.
  1. Presenting Julio
  2. Neverushacon
  3. Boom Or Bush
