Verdict

Cedar Rapids won a Leopardstown claimer in August but should soon repay his new connections if last week's close second here can be relied on. His trainer also runs FINKE RIVER who has been gradually improving and was having just his sixth start when staying on strongly over 7f at Bellewstown. He's on the same mark and James Ryan's 4lb claim is a massive bonus. Sioux Princess has done well since stepping into handicaps and though Lily Of The Glen is 0-19 she's had several near-misses. The veteran Munfallet has won 10 races and will have needed last month's run at the Curragh after a long break so expect him to win again soon.
