Verdict
Conrad Hastings will be taken to the front by Davy Russell, but may not get it all his own way with, Icantsay , know to lead in the past. The two at the front could well set the race up for RATHVINDEN , had enough about him to score effortlessly on his third chase start at Wexford, before taking care of seven rivals at the Galway festival.
