In depth

Verdict

This looks between Roberto Goldback and LET YOURSELF GO who have both been plying their trade in the best company this season. The former's best effort came when a close third to Tranquil Sea in the John Durkan at Punchestown and he would be very difficult to beat in that kind of form. However, Adrian Maguire's charge looked in very good shape when runner-up over hurdles here last month and his second to Captain Cee Bee in the Ryanair at Punchestown a year ago is the best form on view here.
