Verdict

JOE EILE won at Naas in July and has been holding his form well since. He gets the token vote in a wide open race with inexperienced jockeys doing the steering. Royal Intruder bids for his hat-trick off a 5lb higher mark after winning at Galway but runner-up Topadee is weighted to reverse running here, while An Mhi went close when third over C&D last month and could figure. Jills Ballet scored at Cork last time and it would be no surprise to see maiden winner Shiramiyna and Gort Na Mona improve further.
