Verdict

Whisky Galore won over the minimum trip on heavy going here earlier this month but ran poorly at Downpatrick three days later. Ullswater has been badly out of form for Emma Lavelle in the UK and has his first start for Gordon Elliott but Personal Shopper has gained her only victory over this track and trip and generally runs well here. Realta Rathcabhain made a successful reappearance after a two-year break at Limerick in June then ran well enough after a 5lb rise on the same track last month. He's still on a reasonable mark and will make a bold bid to get back to winning ways. DRIVE THE BUS won over fences at Wexford last month but has never scored over hurdles which is why he's on a 26lb lower mark. With his yard in good form, he's taken to lose his maiden tag over timber.
