Verdict

A wide open contest and a real head-scratcher which is quite aptly sponsored by a bookmaking firm. Triolet is nudging up the weights, but has been operating at a reasonable level lately so comes into the reckoning alongside both Authorative and Wiiphania who showed much improved form on their respective most recent starts. However, the most interesting pair are the Gordon Elliott trained Steamboat Quay who was unhindered by a lengthy break when a runner up at Clonmel earlier in the month, and the fascinating stable switcher SMALL WORLD who showed a good deal of improvement over an admittedly longer trip when fourth to Nobody Home at Punchestown in mid-May.
