In depth
Verdict
The form of Aasleagh Fawn's narrow defeat by Lalipour at Navan can be given a boost by the winner in the first division of this. However, Gavin Cromwell's mare was beaten by DOLLAR VALUE at Leopardstown earlier and Tom McCourt's grey can confirm the form on the same terms. Allora Yeats has yet to win in 17 starts but wasn't beaten far behind Lalipour and should be winning soon. Loudest Whisper is 0-25 but Give Battle is one to keep an eye on after a run over hurdles at Tipperary last week.
