In depth
Verdict
To Choose had been in fine form over timber before scoring at the Curragh on Sunday and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. But UDOGO has been improving with every run and got his head in front for the first time at Wexford a week ago for which a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow-up. Brokopondo looks held on that run but Lomi's Law is another progressive type who was only just caught over slightly further at that same fixture and looks certain to go well. Selskar Abbey couldn't handle heavy going at Ballinrobe but would have a chance on his run when successful on fast going at Leopardstown.
