Verdict

The in form EL TREN can build on his recent run when winning for the second time in his 30-race career when landing a Curragh handicap over a similar trip last month off a 5lb lower mark. The gelding can get the better of the Jessica Harrington-trained Instant Return who is expected to improve for his run at Listowel last month on stable debut. The Patrick Flynn-trained Aunty Audrey and 116-rated handicap hurdler, Randalls Ur Poet can battle for the minor honours.
