In depth
Verdict
Polo Lounge pulled very hard when a short-priced favourite at Tramore but will have been taught to settle and has obvious claims. WISTERIA BLOOM never got anywhere near the winner here a couple of weeks ago but was staying on nicely at the finish and can go one better. His stable also run Sunday Soldier, who has a chaser's pedigree, and The Reenroe Beach, who is bred for the Flat. Battle Of Mirbat defied a 100/1 SP with a fine run at Cork and it wouldn't take much more for him to get involved.
