In depth

Verdict

This is the final event a charity series with several of the riders vying for the title. Gordon Elliott runs ENKI FLACKE, who won a bumper at Perth last year and completed a hat-trick over hurdles there in the summer. Kojin completed a double at Tramore and Clonmel before finding the valuable Petingo Handicap too tough over 1m5f here. Six-times Flat winner Still Standing has been finding life tough in better handicaps but Whatcouldhavebeen has been going well this summer and should get into contention. Vera Verto had some decent form over timber before refusing at the last in a Punchestown handicap in April.
