In depth

Verdict

Get Home, placed in three of her last five starts, has Rachael Blackmore taking over the reins from a conditional and Olivia Hegarty’s mare goes on the shortlist. However, apart from one disappointing run on heavy ground, CLONBURY BRIDGE has been very consistent and seems sure to run his race again. He has gone up a pound for his third at Navan, which is not ideal, but he is probably the one to beat. Glorious Singer has shown ability and could figure if getting a run from his reserve spot while Definiteadare took a big step forward at Clonmel at the start of the month.
