In depth

Verdict

Lord Multifix has won four times between the flags already this year and though failing in hunter chase company he was taking on better class than he meets here and has the advantage of Jamie Codd in the saddle. MISTER PHILSON is still a relative youngster and gained his first Open success between the flags at Toomebridge recently. He needs a thorough test of stamina and Derek O'Connor will ensure he gets exactly that. Nina Carberry has been booked by Gordon Elliott for Norwich Flyer, who disappointed in a hunter chase here in March when strongly fancied. Better is expected this time while Benagh Rock was having only his fourth career start when landing a point at Taylorstown last month.
