MONASTERBOICE could be a shade of value on this drop in class. He hasn't been at his best on his last couple of starts but, crucially, he has a fast-ground success over the same trip in Killarney last summer in the book. Colin Keane has been on board for his three career successes and is reunited with him. Instant Appeal was a market mover on his seasonal reappearance over further at Leopardstown last month, but weakened out of contention. He has been dropped 2lb and gets a first-time tongue-strap. A better performance is more than likely. Recent Cork maiden hurdle runner-up Killeaney Bear could have a say, while Nakasero and Independent Expert are others in the mix for a cheque. |
NAKASERO has only gone up 2lb for his last time out AW win and is expected to follow up. He had plenty of future winners in behind that day and although he has a break to overcome his yard has been in good form with its flat runners. Instant Appeal was well backed last time but clearly needed the run after 2 years off. He brings in some classy 2yo form and lurks on a dangerous mark if proving the ability remains. Along with Indpendent Expert who has been running back into form this term he presents the biggest danger. |
