Verdict
Jesmond Lodge scored on heavy going at Sligo and was in the lead when falling at the last at Ballinrobe a few days later. She's since run moderately on the Flat and faces stiff opposition. TIGRIS RIVER was always going easily on just his second start over hurdles at Galway and easily beat the useful Zafayan. He could be a smart prospect and gets the vote over Lean And Keen, who has won twice on the level this year in very testing conditions and could do with some rain. Moonmeister had Jesmond Lodge 10 lengths behind when scoring at Bellewstown but pulled up at Galway when most runners from his stable were badly out of sorts.
