We said2nd of 7, beaten 2¼ at 3/1
SWITCH FROM DIESEL 11/4
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
SWITCH FROM DIESEL at 11/4, Ross O'Sullivan and Conor Stone-Walsh, looks the most likely of these. He won by 6L (~6lb), raised 2lb — 4lb in hand, handles the ground, with a win from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is yard out of form.
SPEISIALTA rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 115 and runs off 123 — up 8lb.
The dangers are BEIR BUA at 10/1 and BROSNA QUEEN at 40/1.
