Verdict

An open heat, there are plenty for whom a case can be built and the market should prove informative. Sevenleft has been running in esteemed company recently and is respected back in a handicap, while Have A Nice Day should run well on ground that is likely to suit. He was beaten here by Severus last month and, assuming the rain stays away, there's every chance of another decent showing from the gelding. Hunaina appeared to appreciate this trip last time when scoring at Leopardstown and isn't dismissed off 6lb higher while any money behind the filly Xenobia on handicap bow ought to be taken seriously. Last year's winner AN SAIGHDIUR is now rated 10lb lower and, despite advancing years, he's a live danger in this field and might be the value call having run well enough last time at Roscommon.
