In depth
Verdict
Colin Keane has had another fantastic season and Team Of Firsts should make a bold bid to send him off with another winner. Ger Lyons' charge has only had two runs since an easy maiden victory on heavy going in March and can reach the frame while Insignia Of Rank gained his first victory since scoring in Listed company in 2019 when battling well over track and trip a couple of weeks ago. LOINGSEOIR has shot up the weights as a consequence of three victories this year, the latest over a mile at the Curragh. But he's also won over this trip and 1m4f and his overall form can give him the edge. Indulging is one to note in the market on his handicap debut while Goodnight Kiss is better than we saw on her handicap debut at Leopardstown.
