Forecasts

The Gatechecker (9/2), Garrai Phaidin (9/2), Definite Ruby (9/2), Killaro Boy (13/2), Winter Magic (7/1), Sonny B (7/1), A Hardy Nailer (7/1), Just Cause (8/1), State Of Origin (12/1), Killer Crow (14/1), Lisclogher Lad (14/1), Some Drama (20/1), Owennacurra Milan (25/1)

Verdict

This looks wide open and cases of some sort can be built for plenty, State Of Origin was going along nicely at Naas when last seen before coming down and would have a chance on that basis. Some Drama drops in trip and if able to recapture the form of his Limerick success in April would be a major contender, though he's been well below that of late. A Punchestown Festival winner over fences, DEFINITE RUBY might be the one for this. She scored over hurdles last month off a layoff and therefore looks primed to run well for a trainer in good form now. Garrai Phaidin is admirably consistent but struggles to win while last month's Naas scorer The Gatechecker is also respected in his follow up attempt. 1. Definite Ruby 2. State Of Origin 3. The Gatechecker
