In depth
Verdict
The last three favourites have won this and all were drawn low. Rumbled Again is in the centre and showed improvement at Listowel but Evening's Empire, who found 5f too short at Bellewstown, is on the outside. Blue News didn't get the clearest of runs at the Curragh though is also in double figures but POLAR BEAR has the inside berth and wasn't beaten far behind subsequent Group 2-placed Apache Outlaw at Fairyhouse so should be difficult to beat. Toughen Up is a half-brother to four winners and is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
