Verdict

C&D winner COUNT SIMON can land the opener here for leading trainer/jockey combination, Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell taking advantage of the possible early pace in the race from Tranquil Magic. The four-year-old was beaten earlier in the month in a competitive looking contest at Bellewstown recently but this event looks easier with conditions to suit. The Noel Meade-trained Niven can fight for the minor honours with last time out winner, Political Policy.
  1. Count Simon
