RACING POST VERDICT

L’As de Watt heads this competitive 22-runner Galway contest on a rating two pounds clear of Journey So Far, who represents the most obvious danger alongside the dangers Phoenix Cowboy and Simpletwistoffaith, both of whom rate a fair bit below the front pair on our figures and are asked to find more against the selection. The going description of good to soft over this extended trip should present no issues, and with a high-confidence case built on the form figures, L’As de Watt is selected to justify that narrow but meaningful edge at the head of the weights and come out on top.
