Verdict

This is likely to be an informative contest, with NO RISK NO FUN, The Short Go and The Model Kingdom all armed with significant potential, while Neigh Botha is also of interest. The Short Go chased home dual subsequent Grade 1 winner The Nice Guy at Naas in January and is not passed over lightly, but he may again find a Mullins-trained opponent too strong in No Risk No Fun, who has looked good very good in winning bumpers at Wexford and Galway. The Model Kingdom is greatly respected, too.
