In depth
Verdict
Gavin Cromwell has won the last two of these and is triple-handed this time. DEMOPHON and Allduckornodinner are both ridden by 7lb claimers with preference for the former, who landed a Down Royal handicap under Sarah Kavanagh in March and warmed up for this with a decent run on the Flat last month. Tiger Twenty Two looks a threat after a promising comeback at Limerick while Sizing Malbay has a course victory to her credit and was in fine form at this time a year ago. First Class Return reverted to hurdling with a good run at Limerick while Twilight Girl also ran well on the same track and is one of the few here with scope. Robin Deuz Pois would be a threat if getting a run from her reserve spot.
