Verdict

Gordon Elliott has won three of the last four and SANDUSKY, formerly with Godolphin, will attract attention despite being a disappointment after a couple of three-year-old victories. This is a very poor contest so with little to beat he can make a winning start to his new career. Bronco Bill pulled up on his debut in May but did much better on his return to action at Wexford and, with further progress likely, should make the frame. The four-year-old Drumlee Lad made a successful debut between the flags on the points course at Fairyhouse and could be anything and none of the remainder make much appeal.
