In depth

Verdict

Lucky Tenner was engaged in the 4.00 at Navan yesterday but would have a fair chance of a prize if turning up here despite a bumper penalty as he was only 2 lengths behind the winner in a maiden over 2m here a fortnight ago. However, conceding 8lb to FOLCANO looks beyond him as Gordon Elliott's charge was unlucky not to get the race when beaten a nose by Brazos at Navan after two very good efforts behind smart winners. Carrig Rock is held on that Navan run but Buck's Billionaire has been consistent around this trip on testing ground so should get competitive. The selection's stable companion Old Town Garde, a winner between the flags, will be better for his run at Naas where he was up with the pace until the last.
