Verdict
Rodney Bay, a winner on the Flat, showed definite signs of progress at Fairyhouse 10 days ago while Happy Victory didn't enjoy the very heavy ground in a Limerick bumper. Winning point-to-pointer and expensive purchase DEPLOY THE GETAWAY has looked in need of a stiffer test in his three runs to date which he may get here. He's handed the vote as Kings Keeper has shown his best form on very testing ground so could do with some rain. Mahons Glory is 0-10 and looking vulnerable.
