In depth

Verdict

Three-year-olds have won the last four of these and are well represented here. Lightning Jock hasn't run since an impressive victory at Galway a year ago and could be anything while Zola Sakura followed her Gowran maiden success with an unlucky run over this track and trip. Beyond Happy made most of the running when successful over 1m4f at the Curragh and was clear at this trip. There's more to come from Jim Bolger's charge who can make a bold bid to complete a double though MAGIC CHEGAGA can take this for the in-form Tom Gibney. He beat a big field on his debut for the yard at the Curragh before just failing to hold off The Blue Brilliant over an extra furlong at Killarney. Takeachancejimmy bounced back to form at Ballinrobe but this is tougher while Rebellito, twice a winner in France, reverts to the Flat after running poorly over hurdles.
