Verdict

Longbourn scored over the trip on his only visit here two years ago and though unsuccessful since has Jody Townend's expertise to aid his cause. Rachael has been booked for Goodie Two Shoes, last seen falling at Fairyhouse in January but twice a winner on the Flat in three starts. His stable also run Dancing Tango, who defied trouble in-running to win convincingly at Fairyhouse and has Maxine O'Sullivan in the saddle. Coill Na Sionainne is gradually dropping to a winnable mark and Jessica Maye's claim is a plus but in an open contest a chance is taken on LORD VADER, still a maiden after eight starts but staying on strongly over a mile at Limerick and a very good ride for Sheila Aherne.
