Verdict
Decade Player ran his best race so far when runner-up to Landenstown Lady at Clonmel last time but he clearly has his own ideas about the game. We're prepared to take him on with AN DEARTHAIR OG, who was well backed in his last two starts in the spring. Though dropping away tamely behind Pageboy at Tipperary in April, he still has time on his side and has his sights lowered a little here. Sagarian returns from a long absence but should be monitored for market support while Two Euro Luck showed promise on his debut at Roscommon before pulling up in heavy ground at Sligo and could prove best of the rest ahead of winning pointer Unoccupied.
