Verdict

IL PICCOLO GRANDE hasn't had the most straightforward of times in his career thus far but the in-form Ger Lyons might be starting to get to the bottom of him. He showed improved form at Leopardstown with a first-time hood on latest and may well build on that now running here from a reduced mark and going up in trip having finished well last time out. Mainicin was back on form last time at Navan and is respected as such while Storm Ranger is in good heart but may need to improve again to land this prize.
  1. Il Piccolo Grande
