In depth

Verdict

Butney Boy hasn't been doing much wrong and looks certain to get competitive with Ruby Walsh likely to ensure a strong gallop. Bose Ikard made a promising start over timber behind Paddy The Celeb at Killarney and looks certain to improve but it's about time ROMEO IS BLEEDING was winning and this looks his chance. He was just outpaced behind Fairy Court over 2m5f at Tramore last time and this trip should be to his liking. Father Jack hasn't been performing badly in handicaps and looks best of the remainder.
