Verdict

This looks ripe for CAHIRDOWN BOY, who has hit the crossbar on his last two completed starts and promises to be suited by this drop in trip judged on his solid latest effort over 2¾m here. Routine Excellence was disappointing when tried in cheekpieces at Punchestown but is capable of playing a big part if on-song. Baldur's Gate and chasing debutante Truckers Angel, who scored over hurdles last time, are others to consider.

  1. CAHIRDOWN BOY (IRE)

  3. BALDUR'S GATE (IRE)
