In depth

Verdict

Patrick Mullins keeps faith with Argent Et Or, who started favourite here almost a year ago but disappointed. DLAURO also has an absence to overcome but is a winning pointer and now with Joseph O’Brien, who has booked Derek O’Connor for his charge’s debut under Rules. Ballymacaw also has pointing experience and any market interest in Mags Mullins’ newcomer Oscars Fame should be noted as he’s by Fame And Glory and the first foal to race of a bumper and hurdles winner.
