    Verdict

    Useful hurdler Limini has won three of six starts on the Flat but has been off the track for over a year. She’s preferred to stablemate Uradel but Willie Mullins’ third runner CHELKAR makes most appeal having returned from a lengthy lay-off with a creditable fourth behind stable companion Lagostoveagas in last month Ascot Stakes on his first start for the yard. Batts Rock is preferred to Brutal of Gordon Elliott’s duo having won a handicap at the Curragh while Decision Time landed a double on the Flat with a recent success at Ballinrobe. Brazos won at Killarney back in May, Le Vagabond was placed at the same track last time and reserve Azzuri could go well if making the line-up.
