Verdict

Henry De Bromhead has five entries and Rachael's presence on course winner Zarkareva suggests he's the stable pick. Mt Leinster is getting better with every run over fences having won easily at Leopardstown then landed a lucrative novices' handicap at Fairyhouse. However, he looked fortunate in the latter event as GRANGE WALK (NAP) came down two out when full of running and can gain compensation. Third-placed Sil Ver Klass looks held but Ben Pauling sends Global Citizen from the UK where he won the Grade 3 Grand Annual at Cheltenham last time when Exit Poll, who didn't enjoy the testing ground and is closely matched with the selection on earlier running at Leopardstown, pulled up. Rebel Gold was engaged in the 7.05 last night.
