Verdict

DRUMMULLAGH ROCKY shaped as if retaining ability returning from an absence at Down Royal last month and could be the answer if building on that here. Springfield Lodge and West Is Best are a couple of potential threats.

  1. DRUMMULLAGH ROCKY (IRE)
  2. SPRINGFIELD LODGE (IRE)
  3. WEST IS BEST (IRE)
