In depth

Verdict

Like the first division, this could be a race which is ripe for an upset. Ruhm Und Ehre was third off this mark at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. Smash The Lamp has run quite well in both previous starts in handicaps but is giving FAIROFFTHECROSS 9lb. Donal Hassett’s seven-year-old has not made the frame in 10 attempts but he has been pretty consistent lately and is more likely to run his race than most of his rivals – JJ Slevin looks a significant jockey booking. I Don't Get It should also be involved at the business end but Mount Callan might need this.
