Verdict

Blueprint Bob was only beaten a short-head at Galway last time and is a leading contender. Sheamus also ran well at Galway when fourth to Lucky Pat, who has since won over hurdles. He should make another bold bid but GRANGECLARE ROSA can take advantage of her weight concession. Willie Mullins' filly finished well ahead of Queens County when third at Wexford on her racecourse debut and the four-year-old can open her account in this.
