Verdict
GO ANOTHER ONE has been a fine servant to connections, was an easy winner of this contest last season and scored convincingly at Cork last month. He has been admirably consistent without winning between those successes and his chance here is enhanced by the 7lb claim of the talented Jack Foley. Thosedaysaregone would have a good shout at his best but the jury is out on him at present and Macgiloney is viewed as the main danger. He never looked happy over fences last time and is far better judged on his previous battling success over timber at the Galway Festival. Tullybeg is a course and distance winner but must bounce back from his last two runs.
