Verdict

TOMBSTONE can get back to winning ways in this hotly-contested renewal. The nine-year-old started the year against the likes of Champion hurdler, Espoir D'Allen and Apple's Jade, more recently in Grade 3 and Grade 2 contests before finding life difficult in the 18-runner Grade A Galway Hurdle last week. The gelding has the class of race, a right handed track and an undulating track in his favour here and can take the prize ahead of stablemate, Westland Row and the Henry De Bromhead-trained Conrad Hastings.
  1. Tombstone
  2. Westland Row
