In depth

Verdict

Oscar Montel has produced his best form with a thorough test of stamina which he should get here though some rain would aid his cause. CITY LIMITS (NAP) was narrowly beaten over this trip at Sligo in August and will have found the minimum much too short at Roscommon on his reappearance. Full Of Zandre made his debut over 2m4f at Kilbeggan earlier this month and should improve enough to get competitive while dual point-to-point winner The Echo Boy tackles this trip for the first time over hurdles.
