      Verdict

      Ballycrystal Court was just beaten by a subsequent winner over 2m4f here four weeks ago, ahead of Max Liebermann, but has appeared to run out of stamina in two previous tries over 3m and Ballynanty steps up a further half-mile. Tyrell and Rainy City have won at the trip, however, and the latter was having his first run over hurdles in a year when fourth at Catterick. FLY VINNIE bids for a fourth course victory and looked to be coming to hand here last month when only weakening at the second last. Dropped 4lb since, he’s back on a decent mark.
