Verdict

The first and second from the race 12-months ago Boom Or Bush and Nelson Road are sure to be well prepped for their rematch here but with possible ground concerns against both, the vote goes to improving four-year-old WATERVILLE DANCER who had good form over the summer before he was backed as if defeat was out of the question at the Galway festival before flopping over 2m½f, eventually beaten 25L. The Johnny Murtagh-trained Circling Moon can go well at a price.
  1. Waterville Dancer
  2. Circling Moon
  3. Boom Or Bush
