In depth
Verdict
Wine And Spirits ran well enough behind Adajal at Killarney to be considered in this moderate event but she's run 19 times without winning and is on her highest mark. She holds Capdalight and Redbridge Radar on that latest effort and should be prominent while Ballygill Gale will make a bold bid to carry his big weight after a good run over a trip too far at Kilbeggan. TAKENDO may be good enough to take this despite his less than convincing form figures as Mervyn Torrens' charge had some reasonable form over timber and didn't have much of a chance in a better race over fences at Punchestown last time.
