In depth

Verdict

Rudy Catrail is one of several course winners here but none arrive in the best of form and he's shot up the weights since winning three times last summer. EMIR DE ROTS was having only his second start over fences when runner-up to Black Samurai here where he made several mistakes. A better round of jumping should see him difficult to beat but Something Sweet is 0-13 over fences. Wake Up Early ran well for second at Tramore and a bad mistake put him out of contention at Downpatrick later. Double Windsor has won around here but looks out of sorts.
