In depth

Verdict

Gatsby Cap has won twice around here though hasn't proved he stays this far nor has Howling Wolf, who was in decent form before well beaten at Leopardstown. The latter had excuses for that latter run and is expected to do much better though it's about time JUNGLE COVE (NAP) was winning on Turf. Jessica Harrington's charge won at Dundalk in the spring and has continued in good form, staying on nicely behind Giustino at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago. Liquid Luck was returning from a long break when not beaten far at The Curragh last month and shouldn't be long in losing his maiden tag.
