Forecasts

Summerville Boy (8/13), Shannon Royale (9/4), Longhouse Poet (4/1), The Very Man (6/1), Andy Dufresne (10/1), Western Walk (10/1), Ballybawn Belter (10/1), West Cork Wildway (14/1), Practice Run (25/1), Junior Rattler (28/1)

Verdict

SUMMERVILLE BOY was a decisive all-the-way winner of this race on his sole previous visit here 12 months ago and, having lost little caste in defeat in a Grade 2 contest at Gowran last time, he is taken to repeat the dose. The Very Man should come on for his reappearance spin in a big-field Leopardstown handicap and is second choice ahead of Western Walk, who is returning from an 11-month absence but remains with potential.

  1. SUMMERVILLE BOY (IRE)
  2. THE VERY MAN (IRE)
  3. WESTERN WALK (IRE)
