Verdict

Assuming he's none worse for the efforts, VEINARD looks capable of going one better than his recent second at Fairyhouse where he stood no chance once the winner got first run. The booking of Russell looks a positive for him and he can help his trainer winner this race for the second year running. Roconga, who has been doing well on the Flat, is respected back over timber despite a greatly increased mark while Tudor City isn't discounted despite his recent Fairyhouse win having a touch of good fortune about it. Dakota Moirette appeals as the more likely of the Gigginstown duo to bounce back to form but the progressive mare Adreamstillalive looks more likely to mount another challenge than either of that pair.
