Three Gigginstown runners in this and newcomer Rigour, trained by Noel Meade, is very interesting being by Getaway out of a King’s Theatre mare. ENNEMI PUBLIC was an eye-catcher at Cork in January, staying on late having got outpaced off the home turn. He’ll know more today and holds The Dude Abides on the form book. Tapenade has had a couple or but has only shown modest progress and Golden Spread looks a bigger danger having come up against the well-regarded Andy Dufresne last time at Down Royal. Baboin is having a first run for Joseph O’Brien but Derek O’Connor has been booked so he shouldn’t be left out of calculations.
