Verdict

The Henry De Bromhead yard won this race 12 months ago with Notebook and it may be significant that the trainer gives another chance to his Diamond Boy gelding EPSON DU HOUX in the opener. The six-year-old can put a recent hiccup at Fairyhouse behind him and land the spoils here at the expense of the Willie Mullins-trained Saint Roi in the colours of owner J P McManus. Arcadian Sunrise has plenty of experience and a winning mentality going for him under jockey Jamie Codd as he competes for the minor honours with Cornerkova and Even Flight.
