Verdict

Bandra Bullet's second to Resolute Bay at Downpatrick is the best form on view but he's penalised here and ran poorly when fancied on that track last time. Respectueux ran his best race to date when runner-up to Aon Sceal at Wexford and looks to be on the upgrade but Whisky Galore has had enough chances with a career record of 0-22 starts. SOUL OF ARAN has been a little disappointing to date but will have benefited from the experience of his debut run over timber behind Half Full at Limerick and this shouldn't take much winning.
