In depth

Verdict

This could be one for market watchers though NEVENDON has shown enough in recent runs at Punchestown and Listowel to suggest he'll take some beating. Denise Foster has struck form with a vengeance and Breffni Brave ran well for a long way at Cork so should prove better at this stage than the once-raced Wicklow Flyer. Maggie Walsh, by Dylan Thomas out of a 3m hurdles winner, and the former UK-trained Ethics Approval, could prove the pick of the remainder.
