Verdict
Grand City Hall looked to need every yard of 7f at Naas but is in here on a nice weight. Bergamasco has Colin Keane on board and will improve for his run behind the smart Spanish Flame at Roscommon while Cardinal Zin was staying on over an extended 5f at Sligo. MEGARRY has been in the lead at this trip when tackling 7f on his two recent starts and dropping back can see him off the mark though there are plenty of dangers including Perfect Judgement, who stayed on strongly over the minimum at Naas. Sweet Delta Dawn and Liamo could prove best of the newcomers.
