In depth

Verdict

Pat Taaffe is an interesting booking for recent Grennon winner Mandilou while Harry Swan was on board when True Or False finished second in one of these races at Cork though his mount was well beaten at Down Royal next time. Carrig Wells' close third behind Lord Schnitzel at Tramore was a good effort but David Christie knows the time of day in these races and with regular rider Barry O'Neill on board NEVERMINDESTRANGER, one of the least exposed here, gets the nod.
