There are plenty of runners in this but it’s not a particularly strong contest. We are drawn to the breeding of Paddy Twomey’s newcomer ACTUARY, who is a half-brother to three winners including the versatile and talented Scarlet Dragon – he should thrive over this trip. Watchmen has placed in both starts to date and shouldn’t be far away again while Born To Rule was well backed when third at Sligo. Fairyhouse fourth Alghazaal could have more to offer and looks the pick of the remainder.
