Verdict
Gangster, a half-brother to Ascot Gold Cup winner Rite Of Passage, had two runs in France early last year on testing ground and showed enough to be purchased by Gigginstown. Point-to-point winner Cecil Corbett showed his first sign of form over timber when runner-up over the minimum trip at Down Royal and is certain to be suited by the extra half-mile here. Moores Road has been quite consistent and the return to quicker going should be in his favour but Isabellesprincess disappointed when fancied at Limerick after a better run on this sort of going at Wexford. TOO MANY NOTES was in front of her in that Limerick contest then just failed to se off The Gatechecker at Ballinrobe. With her allowances and Ricky Doyle's claim taken into consideration, she will be very difficult to beat.
