Verdict

An 8 lb rise for last month's Tramore success may not be enough to prevent LADY MCCABE from completing the hat-trick. Indeed, she is clearly at the top of her game at present and moving back up in trip here will, if anything, be a good thing. Four Country Roads is second choice ahead of Big Leg Up and School Lane, while Westy Fox will be of interest if the market vibes are positive.

  1. LADY MCCABE (IRE)
  2. FOUR COUNTRY ROADS (IRE)
  3. BIG LEG UP (IRE)
