Verdict

Luke Dempsey is one of the most experienced pilots here and his mount, AT BOOLAVOGUE, looks ready to gain his first success after a narrow defeat over a mile here on fast ground last time when Little Arrows and Fairylike were behind. Campestral Scene is making steady progress and though not beaten far at Fairyhouse has been dropped 2lb by the assessor. Balmont Flyer is a specialist at Dundalk and yet to win on Turf.
