Verdict

Horses drawn in single figures have won the five renewals of this so Aloysius Lilius looks up against it in stall 17 after being beaten a short-head by Fine Distraction at Down Royal with the winner was losing his maiden tag at the 31st time of asking. Harry's Hill has an even higher draw to contend with from a 6lb higher mark than his victory at Tipperary. The speedy FLORENCE THOMPSON has the inside berth but has never raced over the minimum trip and is still a maiden. However, Seamie Heffernan has been booked so Denis Hogan's mare can finally get off the mark.
