Verdict

GRANGECLARE ROSA, who has been alternating between bumpers and hurdles, has most things going for her and should finally get off the mark. O'donoghue's Opera was having his first start since showing promise in the spring when mid-division at Galway earlier this month and should get into the frame but Hows Patsy is penalised for a hard-fought victory in a Wexford bumper on very fast ground. Creggmore Boy, a half-brother to Benefficient, looks best of the newcomers.
