Verdict
Medinah Gold went to Limerick last week with what looked a favourite's chance but fluffed his lines and may be better suited by further as he won over three miles at Down Royal earlier. Tristram Shandy has only had two starts in over two years and showed that there are races to be won with him with a good run in that latter event so he's one to watch. Hes Our Robin forced the pace over 2m4f at Wexford but found Fearachain too strong. The winner runs in the opener and could give the form a boost. KENNEDYS MOR scored over three miles at Tipperary a year ago and has returned to action in decent form. He wouldn't want the ground too fast but looks on a fair mark and is handed the vote.
