Verdict

Stormbound had slipped down the weights before scoring at Brighton during the week and makes less appeal under a penalty. Vivre La Reve won here in March but finished well behind LORD MURPHY here later in the same month. The latter has gone close in both subsequent outings and may come good again in this. Three Majors has been thereabouts without winning at Dundalk but Quadriga is best on the Fibresand at Southwell nowadays.
