Verdict

Admodum was narrowly beaten over this trip at Roscommon then didn't appear to be suited by dropping back in trip at Cork. She had BOCA RATON just in front of her in that latter race and as Dermot Weld's filly was making her debut she should improve enough to take this. Ex Patriot got outpaced at a crucial stage before staying on again over this trip at Navan. He will have made further progress and should find a place on the podium. First Class Ticket has produced a couple of decent runs over a mile at Dundalk and being by Sir Percy will appreciate the longer trip.
