Verdict
Joseph O'Brien has won two of the last three and relies on Sea Gardens, a beaten favourite the last twice and subsequently gelded. He makes his handicap debut as does Genuine Article who defied a long break to land a Killarney maiden last month. Dermot Weld has booked Conor Stone-Walsh for the ride and his claim could make the difference. However, LAN CINNTE is much more experienced having followed a Limerick maiden victory with excellent runs in premier handicaps at the Curragh and Leopardstown and this is a drop in class. Duke Of Leggagh's two victories have been on heavy ground and he holds Rhythm King, who didn't run badly here Monday, on their 1-2 here in October. Malbay Madness found 1m5f too far at Down Royal and is better judged on a close second in a premier handicap at Navan earlier.
