Verdict

The whole field can be given a chance from Listed-placed Bolivar at the head of the weights and back from a break with a nice run last time to Crowns Major at the joint foot of the weights, who ran a cracker here on Tuesday over half a mile further. Longbourn's admirable consistency should see him in the mix along with No Say Ever, who has shown up strongly in Leopardstown handicaps this season and is feasibly weighted. Iowa appeals for Ballydoyle off 8-6 and Camorra could go well in first-time headgear but GEE REX arrives after a couple of average efforts on the level and a firth-placed run over timber this month. He's yet to find last season's hat-trick winning form when with Joseph O'Brien but it would not be a shock to see him bounce back now.
