Verdict

It pays to be on the front end around here over this trip which bodes well for the likes of Flower Garland for trainer Donnacha O'Brien and Varna Gold, placed on two occasions over C&D. The early speed could be beneficial to the Fozzy Stack-trained LAUREL GROVE who finished second of 14 beaten ½L over C&D last month. Johan The Great for Joseph O'Brien and the Adrian McGuinness-trained Eglish both have decent efforts to their name over C&D and can give another good account here.
