Verdict
Downpatrick winner Townhill Penny would have to be considered if getting a run from her reserve spot. Gondor stepped up to this trip for the first time at Ballinrobe and was going on strongly at the finish while FLOREY SPUD has found 2m4f on the short side at Wexford the last twice. The latter looks the one to beat though Grozni ran his best race to date at Kilbeggan and is just 2lb higher. Na Caith Tobac has been in fine form over fences and reverts to hurdles on a 10lb lower mark but Sula Warrior scrambled home in a poor maiden at Perth.
