Verdict

Last year's winner Top Of The Ra loves Galway and shouldn't be crossed off despite being 15lb higher in the ratings this evening. He has been in good tune on the Flat lately. Voices Of Spring posted a decent effort last time at Killarney and any betting support for him would have to be noted. Due Reward is on a hat-trick but treads in deeper water this time around. Stormey and Dixie Lee make some appeal on their Bellewstown form but POLITICAL POLICY is on the upgrade and could make a winning handicap start for Gavin Cromwell, with any drying ground likely a plus.
