In depth

Verdict

Monition has had plenty of chances though his best runs have come at around this trip. Winning point-to-pointer Trickey Trix was well supported at Wexford last time though didn't come up to expectations but CASTLEBELLINGHAM showed much-improved form when only just failing to get past Soldier At War at Sligo and a repeat would probably be good enough. On Call has been staying on over the minimum and has a stayer's pedigree so he looks the main threat.
