In depth

Verdict

Dermot Weld has a very good record in this race though it's a surprise to see Gatwick Kitten dropping down to the minimum after racing over 7f and a mile. Koolasice stayed on over 6f on his debut at Cork then showed good pace over the same trip at Naas so has to be considered though if MY FRIEND STAN handles the softer ground he should take this after chasing home Daughter In Law, who was receiving a stone, over the track and trip in May. London Holidays is another taking a big drop in trip.
