In depth

Verdict

Bay Hill is the only one of these to have won on this track which he did last August. He's subsequently won over hurdles and back on the Flat at Listowel though he's 7lb higher than that latest success. Brog Deas Nua has never won but was conceding the winner 9lb when beaten a length at Leopardstown so should put matters right soon. SETTLE FOR RED had been running well at Dundalk before reverting to Turf and making most over slightly shorter at Naas. He's only been raised 4lb and can complete a double. Excelli hasn't had much racing for his age and there was plenty to like about his victory at Sligo but Ittimetogo has yet to win in 18 starts though couldn't get much lower in the ratings.
