Verdict
It's over three years since TOP OTHE RA won a Galway bumper and he's been steadily making his way back this year. He should be spot-on for this and was in front for a long way when runner-up over 2m2f at Leopardstown. Eight Till Late has been chasing and would have been thereabouts at Clonmel but for a last-fence fall while Lilshane ran his best race for a while at Thurles and is just 4lb higher than his last victory. Weightfordave was fancied at Cork last time but was badly impeded at a crucial stage and never recovered so connections will be hoping for compensation.
