In depth

Verdict

Construct is a previous course and distance winner but there are a trio of three-year-olds in this and they could end up dominating proceedings. RATTLE AND HUM (NAP) was just beaten on his handicap debut at Cork and easily went one better upped in trip in a Sligo maiden next time. A further 2lb rise looks manageable with Jake Coen claiming all of that back and more. Autocrat has won twice at Dundalk this year and should be capable of stepping up on his Turf form while Halla Ban has only gone up 3lb for a recent course victory. Star Kissed looks best of the rest ahead of the returning Beautiful Chaos.
