In depth

Verdict

It's rare to find a Ballydoyle entry in such a low grade affair and there's probably some improvement in Great Ruler, who has only had four runs. Cash Or Casualty is just 3lb higher than when scoring over the C&D in May and ran well over a trip too short last time. He holds Gort Na Mona on an earlier victory here and looks a threat but Golan Heights has only won once in 17 starts on Polytrack and looks a few pounds high. POLLY ELLA won over the C&D in May and has performed with credit over shorter trips subsequently. She's reasonably treated and can get back to winning ways though The Reek would be an obvious threat on his run here early last month and potential punters need to forgive what looked a very poor effort when strongly fancied at Wexford as he stumbled badly on the turn for home.
