In depth

Verdict

Battleroftheboyne hasn't won for over a year but looked to have a real chance at Navan on Wednesday only to finish second to Future Icon. He makes a quick reappearance off the same mark and is respected. Ducky Mallon went up 8lb for winning at Navan though it was a combination of the extra plus very testing ground that saw him finish a long way last at Listowel. Primo Uomo has twice finished behind Tithonus in recent weeks but got closer over the track and trip last time and should make his presence felt from this mark. RATTLING JEWEL also finished behind Tithonus last time on heavy going over this track and trip. He won over 6f here in June and looks ready to add to his tally. The three-year-old Accalia is on the upgrade but will need to be with a 6lb rise for her Down Royal success.
