In depth

Verdict

Royal Canford has won around here and also scored twice over the trip this summer on ground with plenty of give. Willie McCreery also has a chance with Truth Prevails, who steps up markedly in trip after two decent runs over 5f. We'll Go Again has been staying on over further so may find this on the short side but Miss Molly T made all over the trip at Leopardstown and should make a bold bid to defy a 5lb rise. Silver Service has been hit with a 9lb rise for a comfortable victory over Kodiac Prince on the latter track but Royal Pippen was ideally suited by heavy ground when gaining a surprise victory at Limerick for which he's gone up a massive 18lb. ROUGH DIAMOND won a 6f Curragh maiden on his debut then stayed on strongly without getting close to Lustown Baba on a return visit. The winner won a Listed contest next time but had earlier finished behind Half Nutz at Naas so the latter comes here with a real chance. Miss Myers was engaged in the 2.00 at Naas yesterday.
