Verdict

David Loughnane sends Metabolt from the UK and he only just failed to complete a hat-trick at Haydock. Mister Wilson has won twice here on ground with plenty of give though stablemate PONT AUDEMER may prove a better option. He's mainly been racing over hurdles but was only three lengths behind Redstone Well over slightly further at Ballinrobe and the winner went on to land a premier handicap at Leopardstown. Five-times all-weather winner Higher Kingdom was placed in the Ladies' Derby at the Curragh while Saraqael won a maiden at the fixture a year ago. The once-useful Roderick gained a surprise victory in a Killarney claimer and has changed stables.
