Verdict

THE NAGGER REIDY arrives firmly on the up so gets a confident vote to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his excellent Tipperary second last time out. Farmers Lodge ran out an easy winner at Fairyhouse last month so should ensure Stephen Carey's 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though. In For The Night and Stormbreaker appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. THE NAGGER REIDY
