Verdict
Ross O'Sullivan's horses have been in good form and he's acquired Working Capitol since the six-year-old finished second at Clonmel in January. Rossmore's Pride has been lightly-raced for his age and can race from a 22lb lower mark over hurdles than fences. Yeat's Encore has never won though ran a bit better at Listowel but Fly De Megaudais hasn't won since April of last year and was well beaten at Ballinrobe last time. Fair Minded looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Ballinrobe but may have found the ground too soft at Down Royal. In a poor race, STILL ALIVE may be good enough to add to his two victories as he's now on his lowest mark since his last success in December 2018 and has Conor Orr's claim to help.
