Verdict
Pillar seeks a third course victory but hasn’t raced since December, though Yudish Geerdharry takes off a handy 7lb. Scarlet Dancer is preferred to Pulse Of Shanghai of James McAuley’s two runners with Shane Foley doing the steering but KUWAIT DIRECTION was successful over track and trip on the last occasion he raced on this surface. He also won at Dundalk at the start of the year. Darcy's Rock should also play a part after a comeback fourth on slower ground at Sligo.
