In depth

Verdict

Few of these arrive in any kind of form so JAN WELLENS, who battled on under pressure to lead on the line over 1m2f at Roscommon, can complete a quick double from 8lb higher. Little Brother, who finished just over 3 lengths back in third, can get closer without reversing the form though See The Eagle Fly could emerge as the main danger after an eye-catching run over that same track and trip. The remainder make little appeal.
