Verdict

Mark O’Hare has ridden the winner of this three times in the last eight years and has leading claims again on board TIMEWAITSFORNOONE. Alan Fleming’s six-year-old was heavily supported on his debut under Rules at Fairyhouse but given too much to do – his experienced rider is unlikely to make the same mistake here. Sizing Rome has won between the flags and Lisa O’Neill is in the saddle for Jim Dreaper. He makes more appeal than Farmaclaffley scorer School Lane and also Chapter Two.
