In depth

Verdict

Shane Foley is one of the most experienced riders in this line-up which may help INSOMNITAS gain the first victory of his career. Seamus Fahey's charge looks to have dropped to a fair mark and was staying on stoutly over 7f at Roscommon when a close fourth to Gagnant. Master Of Light produced some decent efforts at the backend of last year but hasn't been seen since and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Cool Athlete, who has produced two good runs on fast ground recently though over longer trips. Philosophers Guest was just touched off over tonight's C&D at this meeting a year ago and is 1lbs lower but his best form has been on ground with give.
