In depth

Verdict

Despite a maximum field, this won’t take much winning. Big Debates has claims on a recent fifth here but THEDANCINGFARRIER looks to be on an upward curve and wouldn’t need to improve much on his handicap debut at Clonmel 11 days ago when a close-up fourth. Lord Gillygooley is among the least exposed and is another to consider while Mount Callan looked to be coming to hand at Fairyhouse in March. Tangental won at Fairyhouse two runs ago but was only fifth when favourite at Clonmel in April.
