In depth
Verdict
Ancient Days was engaged in the 9.00 at Clonmel last night but would have an obvious chance if running here instead. Winning point-to-pointer Civena ran well enough in a big field at Gowran to be considered and Combustible Kate has shown enough ability to warrant attention. CARLOS FANDANGO ran so well when a close third to Mazuri Cowboy over the C&D in April that he's given the vote to continue his progress and take this.
