Verdict
This looks very competitive but the lightly-raced CHAMBERY PRINCE could be good enough having performed well in two races at Limerick against in-form rivals. Smaoineamh Sile is on a hat-trick of course victories having defied a 10lb rise to beat a huge field last month but now has another 7lb to contend with. Stormy Jenn came too late in an apprentice race at Naas but the champion takes over while Riccardi Medici also finished with a flourish on his handicap debut here last month and is greatly respected. Shining Aitch didn't get the run of the race at Navan so did very well to finish third and Tara Power started favourite at Dundalk on the back of a close second at Bellewstown but got no sort of run.
