Verdict

FAKIR D'ALENE might have found his last run here coming too soon after his battling win at Thurles so remains one to be positive about. Donkey Years was only a neck behind the selection at Thurles 6 weeks ago and is 3 lb better off, while Bold Assassin is getting the hang of things over fences and his opening mark is a fair one.

  1. FAKIR D'ALENE (FR)
  2. DONKEY YEARS (IRE)
