In depth
Verdict
CIANKYLE is 2-3 around here and only a pound higher than when second behind the impressive Optical Confusion over a longer trip on the track at the start of the month – he’ll be fancied to go one better. Great Khan is often placed but now 0-20 over fences and he’s only recorded one career victory to date. Cluan Dara is still 8lb higher than when successful at Clonmel in March but he was placed at Limerick last week and none of the others make much appeal on recent form.
