In depth

Verdict

Jamie Codd rides the majority of Gordon Elliott's bumpers so the fact that he's on board Joseph Conrad, who pulled up in his only start between the flags, rather than Magic Tricks, runner-up at Borris House in March, speaks volumes. Tuscon Train landed a point at Tinahely in February and has joined Tom Mullins but the vote goes to CAVALLINO, by Presenting and the third foal of a mare who has produced winners with her first two. Ever Present and The Big Story are newcomers to note while Churchstonewarrior was pulled out of a race at Wexford on Monday due to unsuitable soft ground.
