Verdict
Ardera Ru was beaten a long way on his only start over fences but has improved massively over timber and is given another chance over the bigger obstacles having won here and at Gowran this year. Aodhan May found testing ground to her liking when scoring over 3m1f at Wexford and should again take care of the luckless Fox Le Bel, who was having his 25th start without winning. Ocean Legacy has never been a consistent type so a follow-up to her Wexford victory seems unlikely though she holds Agirlcalledchloe on that run. KINGS HALO's second to Tyre Kicker over the course and distance has been well advertised by the winner and he scored over timber last month so gets the vote in a tricky event.
