In depth
Verdict
John Gleeson is one of the more experienced riders here and partners Florida Taiga and his mount was only beaten a length over the trip at Navan on her penultimate start. Pachmena was a comfortable winner over 1m4f here on Saturday but has a 7lb penalty and was ridden by a 7lb claimer. Giselles Defence had been running quite well before a poor debut over timber last month while Indulging's latest improved effort came on the beach at Laytown. Our Dickie won at Punchestown last September and Hamilton in May and can't go any lower but the vote goes to DAVID GARRICK, who was well supported to make a winning reappearance at Down Royal in July but didn't get the run of the race.
