Verdict

Unless there is something decent among the newcomers, ROYAL COUNTY DOWN should lose his maiden tag. He hasn't been beaten far in strong maidens at the Curragh and Tipperary and should make further progress. Recall The Show couldn't get into contention at Roscommon but should do much better while Ger Lyons has won this three times in recent years and has three entries with the newcomer Convincer one to watch. Out At Dawn is by Dawn Approach and has an entry in the Moyglare.
