Verdict

Alisier D'Irlande has been competing at Grade level since completing a double back in 2016. He rarely wins but this represents a big drop in class so it will be a surprise if he isn't there at the finish. The veteran Carlingford Lough has won ten races including when beating Djakadam in the Grade 1 Punchestown Gold Cup in 2016. He's never repeated that sort of form but has almost exclusively operated at that level subsequently though was pulled up in this year's Grand National. LISTEN DEAR was surprisingly beaten by shock winner Rocky Court at Ballinrobe last month. She'll need to do better but the longer trip is likely to suit and she's won a Grade 3 on heavy ground in the past. Don't Touch It wasn't too far behind in that latter event so rates a threat but the remaining pair have plenty to do despite Kylecrue having won the race in 2016.
