In depth
Verdict
ANTIQUUS will have come on for a pipe-opener at Galway and gets the speculative vote on the best of last year's form, namely a close-up fifth at Navan over today's trip. Confident Cub was well beaten the last time he raced on fast ground but Passagere seemed to cope with a fast surface at Wexford on her penultimate start, though she never threatened the winner. House Limit has gone off the boil since scoring at Fairyhouse in June while Roja Dove is having her sixth run in as many weeks having won over a mile here last month.
