Verdict

Once again a race where the Mullins team are represented by strength in numbers. Invitation Only gets the nod from the champion jockey and his Navan third last time out looks to be good form. Al Boum Photo is also a very worthy contender here while Livelovelaugh might creep in under the radar given the jockey bookings despite an impressive performance at Thurles most recently. Despite weight of numbers in his favour the champion trainer may be thwarted as RUNFORDAVE ran a solid race at the Cheltenham Festival and should be capable of further improvement now. The previous Clonmel winner can get back on the gravy train this afternoon. Despite losing his unbeaten record last time, Any Second Now remains a promising sort and this longer trip ought to suit.
