Verdict

TOMAS O MAILLE proved as good as ever on his two most recent starts at this track and back down in trip, he can record another win. Son of Hypnos has bounced back to form in recent Galway outings and should remain competitive at this level. San Aer returns to hurdles following some eye-catching Flat performances, notably when finishing strongly at Galway despite being forced wide, while Desert Haven ran well when second over this course previously and should appreciate the return to hurdling.
