In depth

Verdict

They don't come much tougher than this but COLBERT STATION should give supporters a run for their money. Ted Walsh's charge completed a double here and at Leopardstown over 2m4f before finding the minimum trip much too short on his return from a break at Fairyhouse. He looks to have been laid out for this but faces very stiff competition with Clear Riposte an obvious major candidate. Willie Mullins' charge doesn't win very often but faces this trip for the first time since arriving from France and looks certain to be suited. Cloughmile gained her maiden success over timber over today's trip at Thurles in March and followed up over much shorter at Limerick. She's in good heart though a 10lbs rise won't aid her cause. The lightly-raced Dreadnot races beyond two miles for the first time and will find this much tougher than when easily landing a Navan maiden.
