Led, slight mistakes 1st and 3rd, pushed along when slight mistake and headed 3 out, ridden and no impression in 3rd before next, kept on one pace op 6/1
Veinard (7/4), Indian Monsoon (9/4), Teacher's Pet (9/2), Vinnie Luck (5/1), The Irregular (9/1), Malicious Intent (40/1)
An intriguing contest, with the top two likely to form the market. Teacher's Pet has been running well for some time but this drop to two-miles is of some concern and it may pay instead to side with VEINARD for his leading trainer. His recent runner-up finish at Leopardstown entitles him to go close in this company. Indian Monsoon posted an improved effort recently while The Irregular will find this test easier and Vinnie Luck is not out of the running for place money if none the worse for his Punchestown fall.
