In depth

Verdict

Barry Geraghty gets the leg up on Kilbeggan bumper winner WHATS HAPPENING and Michael Hourigan's five-year-old, already a winner between the flags, showed promise on his only previous start over timber at Fairyhouse in January. He can improve past the disappointing Reafadda, favourite again when beaten at Galway 10 days ago. Skibabe was placed at both Tramore and Thurles earlier this year but returns from a break here and may just need this.
