Verdict
There isn't much to go on here but Agent Boru should make a good jumper in time having landed a point at Taylorstown in good style in April. Eagle Ridge is related to several winners and Derek O'Connor is an interesting booking while Jamie Codd's presence on Vertical Illusion, who is related to winning bumpers, will ensure he gets a good ride. Noel Meade's THE RORY STORY has a host of winning relatives and cost 50,000 euros so looks to have as good a chance as any in a race where the market should prove informative.
