In depth

Verdict

Concordin hadn't been in the best of form but was well supported at Leopardstown when unseating his rider at the 4th so better must have been expected. EFFERNOCK LAD hasn't won for over a year and though still 5lb higher ran well enough at Navan last time to suggest he can take this moderate handicap. Show And Go has also been struggling since his last victory just over a year ago and Mister First is better over further though testing ground should aid his cause but Tongie's jumping has been letting him down.
