MADDY PLAYLE

1. Sir Gerhard 2. Kilcruit 3. Gerri Colombe

On form from the Dublin Racing Festival, Kilcruit could have the beating of

Sir Gerhard, but I think the race at Leopardstown fell apart and I like the was the latter has been campaigned. He doesn’t seem dissimilar to Envoi Allen, who won this race in 2018, and the owners also won it last year with Ferny Hollow, so it is clearly a race they want to win. Gerri Colombe has also looked very good at Fairyhouse and is capable of competing at this level if turning up.
