Verdict
PADRAIC O CONAIRE has been in excellent form all summer and very nearly snatched his third victory when coming with a late run to finish runner-up to Bomber Jackson at Listowel. He's been put up 2lb but doesn't look to have much more to do so gets the vote. Euro So Brave, a Fairyhouse winner at this time a year ago, was having only her fourth subsequent run when staying on strongly into second at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago. She has Trevor Ryan's claim to aid her cause again and in receipt of 19lb looks a major threat. Cusp Of Carabelli has improved since stepping-up in trip though may need a bit further to get off the mark while Oskar High ran poorly at Ballinrobe after a very good second at Wexford a couple of weeks earlier. Lady Of The Sea needs a bit further but likes the conditions and looks reasonably treated.
