Verdict
Oathkeeper couldn't confirm Roscommon running with Prince D'Aubrelle at Tipperary later but still looks a nice prospect. However, the latter is trained by Willie Mullins, who runs BEL SAS in this. The Balko gelding won at Downpatrick in March before finding only Dixie Lee too good at Limerick last month and this looks a good opportunity to get back on track. Mr Antolini has been on an upward curve this year and should make his presence felt again while Smitty Bacall quickened nicely to score at Tramore, though has more on his plate here. Winsor Vixen was second at Killarney last month but then disappointed at Tipperary 10 days later.
