Verdict
BAND OF OUTLAWS was still beaten five lengths when runner-up at Roscommon during the week but this faster surface may suit Joseph O’Brien’s colt and he’s preferred to Listowel third Vicky Cristina. The selection's stablemate, Break Spring, is one of several newcomers and though none have outstanding pedigrees South East, Mutawasem and Isaac Wonder also hail from powerful yards and are worth a second glance.
