Verdict
Irish Symphony invariably finds at least one too good while Viking Ridge disappointed when favourite over C&D four weeks ago following a promising third at the track in May. REAR VIEW had some decent form in Ireland prior to pulling up in an above-average contest at Punchestown in April. Donald McCain has given him plenty of time to acclimatise and that patience can be rewarded here, though a market move for Gordon Elliott's Deadliest Catch would be significant with McCoy doing the steering.
