In depth

Verdict

David Marnane complicates matters here by running both Almadaa and Harry Trotter, though the pair have met twice recently with the former coming out best on each occasion. Rigid Rock wasn't far behind Almadaa in January and has since found 7f too far but this can go to BANGALORE DIAMOND. He was badly impeded on his penultimate start in January but bounced back to score a fortnight ago and Conor Hoban's claim can help him complete the double. Inishmot Duchess was behind in that latter event and looks held.
