Aidan O'Brien won this last year with Sardinia and Ruby Tuesday reportedly had breathing difficulties when finishing last at Dundalk in April after a promising debut at Leopardstown. She should do much better while Thunder Zone has produced two decent efforts over 1m4f and Ger Lyons' grey has the pedigree to stay this trip. Owega Star has a bright future over fences and certainly won't lack for stamina but this should go to SILVER CONCORDE (NAP). Dermot Weld's charge won the Cheltenham Festival Bumper beating Shaneshill, who narrowly reversed the form in the Punchestown version in April. He's a very smart staying prospect and this should prove well within his capabilities.
