Verdict

SPADES ARE TRUMPS had a fair bit in hand at Downpatrick in March and has possibly been saved for this since so he's the suggestion. Bold Emperor might have got off quite lightly with a 10 lb rise for Wexford and heads the many dangers along with the likeable Busselton, who is fresh from a recent Flat win, and last year's winner Born By The Sea.

  1. SPADES ARE TRUMPS (IRE)
