Verdict

Not many previous winners in the field but ROYAL COUNTY GLORY is one of the exceptions having deservedly opened his account at Dundalk 7 weeks ago and he can go well again if carrying on the good work back on turf. Fortuity ran into an impressive well-backed scorer of Joseph O'Brien's at Roscommon and must be feared off the same mark, while Thirsty Owl, Kc Bear and Lady Kelly also make some appeal.
