In depth

Verdict

Red Kingdom is still a maiden after 18 career starts and is on a very low mark as a consequence. He ran well over hurdles at Tipperary earlier this month and should be considered. Academic Accolade is also looking for his first victory but that shouldn't be long in coming judging on his excellent run behind July Days at Leopardstown on Thursday. Jeangeorges was an impressive winner over a mile at Listowel but has been hit with a 13lbs rise and he's mainly untried at this trip. BREEZED WELL continues to thrive and followed his easy Navan success with a cracking run at Fairyhouse on Tuesday when headed on the line by Denny Crane. He's now 12lbs higher than for his victory but has the advantage of a fine claimer on board and can get back on the winning trail.
