Verdict
The Bog Bank won this last year, one of two victories here, and has rarely finished out of the money on the track. Trueba has also won here and scored from this mark at Cork last month while What Adaay won over the track and trip in July before placed on a return visit last month. Manhattan Dandy just beat LEVIOSA at Roscommon in July and there's little between them here but Shane Foley takes over on the latter who can turn the tables and land this. Fastman won at the fixture a year ago though that was on good ground.
