Verdict

None of these arrive at the top of their game but REGAL POWER is back on a winning mark and may be good enough. This is easier than his latest task at the Curragh while Cheers Buddy can race off a lower mark than when scoring at Dundalk in April and La Bella Rose has more scope than most and may finish closer. Ask Dad won at Dundalk last year but is 8lb higher and Phils Wish has yet to score in 30 attempts.
