Verdict
Very little to go on here and the market could provide the best guide. Dicebox won a Killarney bumper in July but has run poorly over timber but Upping The Anti, a runner-up between the flags, only weakened close home in a Tipperary bumper in March. Skol was in touch and staying on when falling at the last at Downpatrick last month so should get involved if none the worse though the form pick has to be the very well-connected BITE THAT, who chased home the short-priced Captain Kangaroo at the Listowel festival and can go one better. Kingoftheroses was engaged in the 2.38 here yesterday.
