In depth
Verdict
The fact that joint top weight and likely favourite SCHOOL LANE is 0-22 speaks volumes but he didn’t really badly on a raid to UK shores seven weeks ago. Killisk Ben Rose placed at Limerick around this time last year when 2lb higher but more recent efforts have left much to be desired. Wake Up Early has pulled up the last twice but has his sights lowered and Lacken Bridge won this in 2018 but he was also pulled up last time and is still 3lb higher.
