In depth

Verdict

ANNACARTON looks in a different league to these having followed a hunter chase success at Tramore earlier this month by taking a point at Dromahane the next day. He's still young enough to make further progress and it will be a surprise if he's beaten. Farmer Grant doesn't win often enough but Heavenly Bound made a fair debut between the flags at Tallanstown after a two-year break and should have benefited from the run. Optimus Prime was 10 lengths behind Annacarton at Dromahane but could still prove good enough to chase home the obvious favourite.
