Verdict

The Sheila Lavery-trained ULTRA PRIDE can win for the second time in nine starts on turf. The four-year-old gelding has been running well in defeat since racing resumed, not beaten far at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown last month and can hold off the attentions of the Gavin Cromwell-trained Yafordadoe who won over hurdles at Cork eight days ago, racing at 2m. The consistent Annexation for trainer Henry De Bromhead and Hightimeyouwon, winner at Naas over 6f on latest start in June, can both give a good account.
