Verdict

Caroline Murtagh has rode Fix It to victories at Dundalk and Down Royal and though her mount has a 6lb rise to contend with the combination should get into the frame again. Ana O'Brien rides DOONARD PRINCE for the first time and the five-year-old is in such good form at present that he's given the nod in a very open contest. Yava is progressing nicely and will get a good tide from Tom Madden while Donagh O'Connor was on board when Miller Beach scored at Naas earlier this month and his mount completed a double at Killarney on Wednesday for which he's penalised. Chillie Billie goes well for an apprentice but one victory in 43 starts is a poor return.
