Verdict

An Saighdiur won this in 2012 but finished mid-division a year ago when BURN THE BOATS beat an even bigger field than this. Ger Lyons' lightly-raced charge had a run at Ascot in May over a trip too far on softer going than he likes and that will have put him straight for a repeat performance. Alkasser makes his handicap debut from a mark of 106 but he earned that rating by landing a Listed contest here last month so has an obvious chance of completing a hat-trick. Shipyard had his first ever start on quick going at Navan a fortnight ago and showed that it suited with a battling success though a 6lb rise makes this more difficult. Srucahan had some strong form earlier in the season but would need some rain unlike Earth Drummer, whose comfortable victory at Limerick came on very fast ground. The filly Fly To The Moon looks a threat as she wasn't beaten far by Due Diligence at Naas and that winner ran very well at Royal Ascot.
