Verdict

CLONDAW WARRIOR was a long odds-on chance when beaten by Grandma Dotty at Roscommon but that race came only two days after he won easily at Tramore and it could have come too soon. Colin Keane can steer him home here. Prospectorous reverted to the Flat after a couple of spins over hurdles and ran a fine race when just failing to hold off Cin Cin at Tramore. He's been left on the same mark and it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. Sheilas Wish is on the same mark as when scoring at Cork a year ago and the maiden Focas Mor has been going well enough to be considered with her very competent rider able to claim 4lb. Brog Deas Nua tackles the trip for the first time but is well enough treated to make his presence felt.
