Verdict

Rigour Back Bob just failed to concede 2lbs to Footy Facts at Cork after completing his hat-trick and his penalties mean another stiff task here. WHODOYOUTHINK was put in his place by Dunguib in the Grade 1 Deloitte at Leopardstown before comfortably beating Stonemaster at Naas, form which gives his the beating of UK raider Frascati Park on a line through the runner-up. Definitive Edge appeared to find three miles stretching his stamina when tackling Grade 3 company at Cork last time and should be better suited by today's trip but Rhyll Accord has disappointed since landing his maiden at Thurles.
