Verdict
One Cool Poet ran three times at Galway last month and isn’t getting any younger. Distant Chimes was just beaten over this trip at Leopardstown in May but Platinumcard is a stayer. Safecracker deserves a change of luck having placed four times this year but he is now 0-10 on Turf. Mctigue has also been frustrating to follow but Malabu Drive looked a progressive sort when making all in a Killarney maiden, though the second failed to frank the form at Leopardstown last week. INUIT runs in his first handicap after a couple of fair runs in Listed company and Joseph O’Brien’s grey looks the one to beat.
