In depth
Verdict
BILLYFAIRPLAY (NAP) is well drawn, has an excellent claimer on board and is fit from a run at Navan last week so looks the one to beat. Silk Cravat isn't as well berthed but ran very well when third behind Mulzamm at Gowran a week ago so has to be on the shortlist. A Likely Story ran poorly in his last two starts at Dundalk after a couple of very good runs there and is 1-38 on Turf. Fair Game hasn't won since 2016 but Little Camacho is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Gowran last July.
