This looks a race where the market should be watched for clues. Brown One will be fancied after a good run at Killarney in May though he didn't run so well on a return visit last month. Portion Control has a couple of fair efforts behind him but he looks exposed so it wouldn't be a shock to see Colin Bowes's newcomer Betty Banks go well as her dam has produced a couple of winners. SHAKE THE BUCKET gets the vote as Boots Madden's charge, a winner between the flags at Dromahane in May, showed good pace in a hurdle race at Bellewstown a month ago and looks to have enough speed to score on the level.
