Verdict
Style Of Campile receives the mare's allowance from all of her rivals but was a major disappointment when strongly fancied at Thurles last time. That can't have been her true running and she should do much better. King Of The Refs is another to have run poorly on his final start having been tailed off in a handicap at Fairyhouse in April. He'll probably been seen over longer trips shortly but another winner between the flags, Royal Reveille, has been running well over today's distance and will be suited by a strong pace. Lean Times is not without a chance despite a poor recent effort at Punchestown but BALLYBURKE looks the one to be on. Paul Rothwell's charge was in the lead at today's trip before fading into third behind Fully Funded in a Grade 2 over 2m4f here last month and should find this much more to his liking.
