Verdict

David O'Meara and Richard Fahey don't send runners to Ireland without big chances and both have excellent records here. Stewards Cup hero SUMMERGHAND couldn't quite hold off Brad The Brief in Listed company at Newmarket but ran a fine race in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock and looks good enough for this. Fahey is represented by Ventura Rebel, who had every chance in that Newmarket contest and was a couple of lengths behind the selection. Urban Beat has won twice here though it's taken 10 races to do so. He couldn't handle Tarboosh in the Listed Scarborough Stakes at Doncaster but heads the home challenge on overall form. Southern Horse has changed yards and made a bright start at Cork so could prove best of the remainder.
