Verdict
Shan Dun Na Ngall beat Konig Hall a neck in receipt of 4lb here last month and again ran well at Tramore last time, though he didn't appear to stay this trip at Tipperary in-between. The runner-up wasn't beaten far at Ballinrobe subsequently but has no form over this longer trip nor has Ardview Boy, though he's been running well over the minimum. Garri Rua is still a maiden though that status shouldn't last long based on his very good run over this trip at Ballinrobe while another maiden, Gold Class, produced his best run for some time when chasing home Cabarete at Tramore. THEO won here in March and has continued to run well. He came from a long way back at Tipperary last time and with stamina not an issue can return to winning ways. By The Banks ran very well when runner-up over the course and distance last time and could provide the main threat.
