Verdict

Early speed in the initial part of the race is expected to come from Shelia's Hope and Lethal Power. The pace will be ideal for the Jessica Harrington-trained STILL STANDING to win his third race of the campaign following on from a slight hiccup at the Curragh earlier this month. Tremedous Leap, who has ben solid and consistent all season and Jim Bolger's New Direction can both go well at a price.
