Verdict

BANKS OF THE BOYNE ran well enough despite not looking to benefit from the return to 6f at the Curragh over the weekend and his previous form at Galway and Fairyhouse would make him the one to beat granted he copes with the quick turnaround. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Togetherwearefree merits respect on debut, with The Green Helmet also on the shortlist.
