Verdict
Arthur's Quay didn't get home over 2m4f at Kilbeggan after leading at this trip but Pakens Rock made a promising chasing debut here before finding Play The Game too strong at Listowel when the remainder were a long way behind. Born By The Sea has been running very well over hurdles without winning while the lightly-raced Magnium has changed stables. The latter was narrowly beaten by both Easy Game and Aramon in Grade 3's over timber in 2018 and if taking to fences would be the one to beat. Thatsy has won between the flags as well as landing a bumper and scoring over hurdles but the vote in an interesting race goes to ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN (NAP). Gavin Cromwell's charge has won twice around here over hurdles and is bred to be even better over the bigger obstacles.
