        Verdict

        Tommy Stack runs DYLANBARU and Almanack, the only C&D winners in the line-up. The former has been competing at a high level since his victory in April and his close third to Hototo in the Windsor Castle at Ascot would be good enough for this. Lightnin Hopkins was only just behind him in a Curragh Group 3 last time but a 1lb pull doesn't look enough to turn the tables while Wexford Opera takes a dramatic drop in distance having run over a mile at the Curragh last time. Lady Gosford's only run over the trip resulted in a victory at Naas but Blue Bullet is held by Lightnin Hopkins on their run on the same track last month.
