In depth
Verdict
Naas runner-up Danegeld would have strong claims in a weak finale if getting a run from his reserve spot but we just prefer CLONBURY BRIDGE, who might be suited by a drop in distance having only weakened approaching the last over 2m4f at Fairyhouse when returning from a break. Only For Pascal was behind that day but there are possibilities about Gowran runner-up Boghlone Honey and Tech Talk was only beaten a length at Fairyhouse when sent off at huge odds.
