In depth

Verdict

Jim Bolger turns out Poster Child quickly after her victory over 1m2f at Naas on Sunday but this is a big step-up in trip. THEFAITHFULINDIAN is also penalised for her success at the Curragh last week but she scored with plenty in hand over that 1m4f on soft ground and can complete a quick double. She had Emerald Green a long way behind and should confirm the form but Make Good has won over the trip and won't mind testing ground while Shumaker arrives in winning form having scored over fences last month.
