Verdict
Thirteen Up hasn't shown much over timber or in a bumper but Dabari ran well for a long way at Killarney and will have benefited from the experience. Cooper's Dream didn't enjoy the heavy surface at Listowel last week after a better run at Galway while Falcarragh made a promising start when staying on over 2m at Tipperary in June and will be suited by today's longer trip. BRIDGETS PET started favourite for a 2m3f Kilbeggan bumper earlier this month but couldn't quite get to Murphy's Friend. That was a decent performance and he can go one better and gain compensation.
