Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien pair of Dark Vader and Never Before have both been running well in victory and defeat since the turn of the year and can once again give a good account in this tricky contest. They could be pipped at the post by the Jessica Harrington-trained PUNITA ARORA in the colours of Alpha Racing. The daughter of Sepoy was last seen running with credit in a Listed contest at this venue over 7f in October and can add to an earlier victory on turf in a Navan maiden in July. The reliable C&D winner The Kings Of Kells could take advantage should any of the main protagonists falter.
