Verdict
Statistics show that a low draw is best here but last year's winner came from stall 11 so BUBBLY BELLINI may not be too inconvenienced. Adrian McGuinness' charge gets the vote on the back on his superb run behind today's rival Kateeva at Laytown as he's much better off at the weights and has run well over the minimum trip subsequently. Kateeva continues to thrive and had Sassaway well beaten at Listowel last month though she's now 9lb higher. An Mhi looks a big threat as he's been running very well without quite getting there but Rock On Ciara will be having her first start over this trip and is better over further. Measured Approval is another to consider in a wide-open event.
