In depth
Verdict
Sword Exceed was well beaten on his reappearance having scored over track and trip back in January while Rewaayat won on the Turf track here last summer and remains 6lb higher. Griggy looks high enough in the weights now having won twice earlier in the year but Zac Brown is back on a winning mark and can figure returning to today’s 6f trip. But TABAAHY can usually be relied on to run his race having won three times already this year and he gets another chance with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins.
