In depth

Verdict

LUSIS NATUREA won this two years ago from a mark of 66 and is now 9lbs lower. He won over hurdles at Navan last month and looks the one to beat. New Society has won on the Flat and over hurdles at Fairyhouse in the past few weeks and loves the fast conditions but Sam Missile hasn't won since 2018 and his latest run was at Dundalk. Enquire Within showed her first sign of form at Fairyhouse earlier this month and wouldn't need to improve much to get into contention but Rita Levi has never raced over a trip this far.
