Verdict
Another maximum field. Macgiloney was second back over hurdles at Tipperary and has a chance, despite top weight. But talented 7lb claimer Jack Foley rode a double for Thomas Mullins at Kilbeggan earlier this month and the pair partner up here with IT COULD BE YOU, who looks likely to be suited by a first try over 3m. Wexford maiden winner Quaker Island is interesting running in his first handicap and Blackstair Rocco arrives in good form with his yard already among the winners here this week. Manitopark Aa won at Cork in May and there was clearly something amiss at Punchestown later with stablemate Captain Kangaroo another for the shortlist.
