Verdict
Bloodstone has shown the occasional glimpses of ability though has been well beaten over this trip. Champagne Monarch ran surprisingly well when tackling 3m at Cork but was well beaten over shorter at Galway last week. Double Jubilee tackles the trip for the first time but John Adams has been narrowly beaten twice at around this trip under today's rider. WASDALE PARK was heavily supported when tackling 2m3f at Downpatrick but came up well short. He showed much-improved form over 3m at Cork next time and can go one better, though Fly Little Bird produced an excellent run for a 100/1 chance at Killarney and a similar effort would see her in the firing-line.
