Verdict

Boughtforasong had Acroleina a short-head behind when scoring over 6f a fortnight ago when Shinyhappyjohn was less than a length back in third. The winner looked to have a bit in hand and, with the shorter trip no problem and Donnachta O'Brien's claim a plus, she can confirm the form. Rigid Rock, who had beaten Acroleina narrowly earlier over this trip, didn't perform to his best in that event two weeks ago and will be suited by dropping to the minimum. Ability N Delivery was just a length behind Rigid Rock earlier and has since run well at Wolverhampton but Catwilldo is struggling for pace at the moment. Tony Carroll likes to have runners here and SALVADO scored over 6f here when trained by Charles O'Brien. With Joseph O'Brien booked, he's taken to make the journey worthwhile.
