In depth
Verdict
Icantsay looked a likely improver when landing a maiden here in July but hasn't fulfilled that potential and has changed stables. Admiral Brian scored at Ballinrobe a year ago and looked on the way back when runner-up at Wexford earlier this month. Dual point-to-point winner Boru Boy won a maiden here in January and hasn't performed badly subsequently while NICOLE'S MILAN completed a double earlier this year and has continued to run well despite a big weight rise. The latter is handed the vote though there are numerous dangers including the four-year-old Pahaska, who finally got the hang of the job at Limerick a fortnight ago.
