Verdict
Wicklow Brave will be supported given his connections though he didn't show enough on his debut here last month to be considered. Top Othe Ra has performed with credit on occasions but has had enough chances and though Dubh Eile finished fourth in a big field on her debut she was beaten a long way. TAROGATO showed a bit of promise at Leopardstown in January and was sent into Listed company for his next start at Limerick in April and he ran very well behind Private Treasure. He can improve again and take this though Macnicholson should provide a threat as he wasn't beaten far in a strong bumper here last month.
