Verdict
There is a maximum field for this but it won’t take much winning. HERBIEGOESBANANAS has started favourite in all three runs for Willie Mullins. His latest third at Downpatrick signalled to form and he can finally reward followers here. Something was clearly amiss with Merry At Heart at Ballinrobe in May and she’s better than that. With Grey Habit engaged at Galway yesterday, My Lovely Boy is likely to get a run and he was still in contention when attempting to run out at Cork last week. Gunfire Reef must have some sort of chance but Caddy Shack is woefully one paced.
