Verdict
Barring mishaps this looks between NINETIETH MINUTE and Mackeys Forge, who fought it out with eventual winner Shot From The Hip in a similar event over 2m1f here a month ago. The former just came out on top of today's rival and though beaten subsequently at Naas he was up against a couple of very promising rivals. Today's longer distance shouldn't be a problem for either of the two principals who should battle out the finish again. Kilbrannish Hill can do best of the remainder.
