      Verdict

      Ideal Pal has won his share of races including over the track and trip though hasn't been seen since running moderately over hurdles in December. Still Standing has also won around here and has been racing in strong company since scoring at Limerick in April. Bowerman won a Group 3 at Dundalk in September and followed up in a lucrative Listed event at Doha. He's been racing in much stronger company than this so a better run is expected. IDES OF AUGUST made a successful debut at Leopardstown last June and though unable to add to that tally has been running reasonably well in better company. A close fifth in a premier handicap back at Leopardstown earlier this month suggests he's ready to go in again.
