In depth
Verdict
Tresorier has a good record around here and any further rain would greatly aid his cause. Pretty Rebel has won here and has returned in fine form, failing by a short-head to concede the winner 8lb at Gowran. Oneiroi was beaten 2 lengths by Atlas at Leopardstown last July but did much better on a return visit last month and looks on a nice mark. Wee Pablo had raced exclusively at Dundalk before making most for a comfortable victory at Leopardstown and though up 9lb should give another good account. Ottawa Fire was making his handicap debut and having his first start away from Dundalk when scoring over a mile at Gowran but has been raised 11lb and the vote goes to EL PADRE. He only started racing last summer and showed potential in maidens before staying on strongly over this trip at Cork last month on ground that may have been too fast.
