In depth

Verdict

This won't take much winning and Tramore runner-up Bomber Jackson must have a chance, despite a big weight. Calle Aneto was only beaten a head at Dundalk in April but would need to reproduce that form back on Turf to figure. Mama Sox has been hard to train after disappointed at Fairyhouse last month after making a promising comeback on the Polytrack. DANCINGWITHANGELS was a length behind Mama Sox at Fairyhouse but blew the start. He ran a lot better on a return visit to the track last week and can land this weak affair. Granny On Fire may be best of the rest.
