Verdict

Double Windsor has won twice here though is on a very long losing run but RULE OF JUNE was staying on strongly over 2m7f at Clonmel and can go one better. He just holds Drimsee Lad on that run and though Legacy Of Dreams won for the first time under Rules at Limerick that was over 2m3f and he's up 9lb. Meehall was beaten 13 lengths in the latter event but will have found the trip inadequate. Whip Whitaker was engaged in the 5.43 at Kilbeggan yesterday.
