Verdict
Davy Russell has been booked for TWOPLUSTWO EQUALS, whose neck second over 2m7f at Killarney would probably good enough. A couple of late mistakes cost him the race and compensation awaits. A Dublin Job had changed trainers before a narrow defeat over this trip at Tipperary and looks the main threat as Veneziano Springs is 1-21 over hurdles and is yet to prove he stays this far. Rachael Blackmore was on board when Well Polly finished runner-up at Clonmel last month and her mount is on the same mark.
