Verdict
Lastofthepilots would have a chance in this if able to recapture his best while Hansupfordetriot was third in similar company over this trip at Killarney in May. Sir Harry Cash hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts but Ancient Days was pulled up on his latest outing at Galway and Tullydonnel Flyer suffered a similar facet at Kilbeggan. BOUILLABAISSE produced a nice turn of foot to beat some useful bumper horses in an amateurs' race at the Curragh in May and could have a bright future under NH Rules. Colm Murphy will have given him plenty of schooling and he's probably the one to beat today.
