Verdict

JON RIGGENS is selected to build on a good reappearance run at Naas last month and resume winning ways for the Edward Lynam team. Blanc de Noir is an interesting contender on his first outing for Johnny Murtagh, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Pro Bono Alexander should also have a part to play if able to transfer her AW improvement since blinkers over to the turf.
