Verdict
Filon D‘Oudairies was well supported when landing this a year ago and is 7lb lower though he pulled up behind NAME ME FAMOUS (NAP) over the course and distance three weeks ago. The winner is in excellent form and a 7lb rise does not look enough to prevent a double. He holds fourth-placed McGrath From Clune on that run and though Lake Chad also arrives in good form he does not win often enough. Ardamir‘s latest run at Killarney puts him in the frame along with Finnians Row, a winner at Downpatrick in September who found the minimum too short at Tramore last month.
