Verdict
Not the best of races to have the mortgage on though last year's winner Mantell is likely to go well again, under a different rider this time. Jackie Kidd will get the best out of Our Nana Rose, who rates a threat along with the inconsistent Tynaghs Trooper but BAY OF KOTOR looks the only one of these with any real scope and, as he produced by far his best run so far at Wexford last month, he can give the very competent Rachel Blackmore another winning ride.
