In depth
Verdict
LITTERALE CI has placed three times at the Galway Festival, including twice last month. She won this race back in 2018 off today’s mark and Aine O’Connor is good value for her 5lb claim. Umndeni is often placed but on a long losing run and looks held by Chapmanshype on last season’s form. The latter is on a winning mark reverting to hurdles so not ruled out but I'm So Busy has gone up a further 4lb since failing to complete the hat-trick at Worcester. Celestial Force has a good record here but his stamina will have to be taken on trust.
