Verdict

Successful at Sligo last month, DORKAS looked every inch the winner again in his follow-up attempt at Tramore before coming to grief at the final obstacle. He's gone up a further 3lb for that misfortune but, assuming he's none the worse for the fall, can gain compensation now. Bellgrove has been loitering with intent at times this season and wouldn't be winning out of turn while Rebel Turn and Fenlon's Hill could also have some input in the finish.
