Verdict
Bentham is penalised for a narrow victory over Celine Soprano at Killarney but can confirm the places despite being 4lb worse off. Donacheady Gale was a 25/1 chance when successful at Down Royal where he was always travelling well. He looks best of those with experience though a chance is taken with the newcomer ONE FOR JOE, from a yard that do well in this sphere and related to winners.
