Verdict
HATTON CROSS won't be far away if reproducing the form of his latest third at Leopardstown. He hasn't run a bad race all summer and looks the one to beat, though Kilruane Shea looks to be improving and could go well at decent odds. Elusive Gent was placed at Ayr last week while Right First has been knocking on the door on faster ground. Boughtforasong was placed twice at Down Royal earlier this year, but has a bit to find with Right First on recent running at that track. Breezolini is still coming down the weights and showed a bit more last time.
