In depth
Verdict
Decade Player has won around here and is well handicapped compared to his chase rating. Sister Annie went up 9lb for a comfortable victory at Wexford last month and was soon beaten on her next start a few days later at Fairyhouse though that wasn't her form. PACE AND PASSION had shown potential in bumpers but nothing over timber until a much improved run at Down Royal where she may have won but for an error at a crucial stage. She's up 2lb but if in the same mood can go one better. Broughtons Bandit has shown the occasional glimmer of ability for Willie Musson in the UK and will be better for his opening run for Gordon Elliott a couple of weeks ago. Manibus may provide the main threat as he showed his first sign of form on testing ground at Cork in March on what was just his sixth career start.
