In depth

Verdict

Peregrine Run, 16 times a winner over jumps and once in a bumper, ran well behind Dalton Highway at the Curragh and can't be dismissed while Happy Company performed well over a trip much too short at Killarney last week. Dollar Value scored over hurdles at Kilbeggan in May and has won on the Flat while Little Brother beat a huge field over 1m4f here in May. LUNAR POWER hasn't been doing much wrong and was only beaten a nose over track and trip last month so looks the one to beat.
