Verdict
Tiger Roll was conceding VALYSSA MONTERG 7lb when beating her comfortably at Kilbeggan but made a few mistakes over those easy fences and won't get away with them here. Willie Mullins' mare is 5lb better off and will be suited by the stiffer track and fences so is taken to reverse the form and land this. Baily Cloud was a long way behind that day but was nowhere near his best and is better judged on his chasing debut victory over The Plan Man at Tramore. The Winkler and Sandymount Duke battled out a finish over the track and trip in May with the former just holding the call. There's very little between them here and both should go well.
