In depth

Verdict

Round Tower should ensure a solid gallop despite the small field, and that should suit BENDANELLA , who has the form to go close and the booking of Davy Russell looks an interesting one. Eight Till Late is doing little wrong at present and can prove the main danger. Catalunian Fields and Eiri Na Casca can fight out the minor money.
