Verdict

BROKOPONDO (NAP) had been in excellent form at Dundalk before his run over this trip at Navan on Saturday where he came with a late run after being out with the washing. Ridden closer to the pace this time he should make amends. Udogo beat Sharjah just over two lengths at Dundalk in December but was receiving 9lb and they meet off levels here. That was over 1m2f and the runner-up has since scored over further so is expected to take his revenge. Papa's Way stays extreme distances and could do with some rain while King of The Picts is much better known as a jumper these days.
