Verdict

This looks between Fairy Foxglove and TWISTSANDTURNS, the only two to have won over the trip, and they can fight it out. The former has been in good form on the all-weather and when third behind Sister Slew at Roscommon on Monday but the latter may just have the edge as he's been showing good pace over further before fading. Midnite Ride has his first start for new connections after showing some initial promise for Richard Fahey while the three-year-old Duncan Of Scotland returns to this trip after showing good speed over 6f.
