In depth

Verdict

Pivot Bridge is very well handicapped though is likely to find this on the short side after his narrow defeat over 1m7f at Leopardstown. Last Garrison was a surprise winner at Down Royal before reverting to type over hurdles at Ballinrobe but Glenbank King is back on the same mark as when gaining his only victory at Ayr last July. Trump Card doesn't win often but would have a chance on his narrow defeat at Gowran in May while Acclamatio found fast going against him on his return to the Flat at Limerick and would appreciate some rain. Pass The Ball was brought down over timber at Galway on Sunday and he's another who would appreciate some cut in the ground so a chance is taken with BORN BY THE SEA, who was having only his second start in over 400 days when leading for much of the way at Galway a week ago and should now be at his peak.
