Verdict
Duleek Street overcame numerous mistakes to finish second over the track and trip in August and should have come on for the experience. Rodney Bay has never won in 23 career starts but has been placed several times over timber and was a close second here in June. Will You Win has a similar profile and has also run well here in the past while Beasley Street is bred to be a staying chaser so he's done well to get as close as he has in two bumpers. GENERAL MAXIMUS chased home his long odds-on stablemate Dartington at Navan in March and the winner has scored twice subsequently so Gordon Elliott's charge looks the one to beat.
