Verdict
BY DESIGN was in the process of running a big race when brought down in a similar contest at Clonmel in February. He gets another chance here and should come out best with normal luck in-running. Rollinthedeep tries his luck over regulation fences on the back of a point-to-point victory and Garde Fou ran well for second in a points race at The Pigeons last month. Schindlers Rock also has form between the flags but is less than reliable while Send For Paddy has disappointed since finishing fifth in a hunter chase at Down Royal in December.
