In depth

Verdict

Timbuktu has been a short-priced favourite in each of his three runs including when odds-on at Naas last month where he reportedly finished lame. He looked one-paced over a mile here last week when around three lengths behind runner-up CATALYST, who was caught close home by Private Paradise. That form should prove strong enough for this though Creggs Pipes has produced several strong runs and this looks her best trip. Ibergman has run three times over 6f and was staying on steadily at Navan last time but Wishing Well may be better suited by further.
