In depth

Verdict

Rory's Brother would have claims if the rains arrive as his form is much better on ground with some give. OLD SUPPORTER just couldn't last out over 2m5f at Killarney where he was headed in the closing stages by Baby Whizz. He'll lead them a merry dance and hopefully can hang on over this shorter trip. Imperial Joey scored over 2m1f at Ballinrobe in April then went up 9lb but he's continued in decent form and looks the main danger. Sir Loujay ran quite well here last time though that was over 3m1f and this could be too short.
