In depth
Verdict
Your Pal Tal was raised 9lb for winning at the Curragh and was well beaten last time. Sassaway has been in the mix without looking like winning of late and Mr Bounty was close-up fourth here last month only to disappoint at Naas last week. Catwilldo found one too good in lesser company last time so a chance is taken KALASADI will improve now handicapping for the first time and Mick Halford’s charge gets a speculative vote.
