Verdict

Could be a battle of the experienced geldings as Battle Of Midway may not have enough to stop the potentially exciting CATS FOR CASH from the Gordon Elliott yard. The five-year-old has twice finished runner up in a couple of bumpers including going down by ¾L at Fairyhouse last month and can land the closing contest for connections getting off the mark at the third attempt. The Jessica Harrington-trained Robin Des Sivola is worthy of consideration while Cavalry Master and Yendo could be capable of hitting the frame.
