Verdict

Andiamos will be supported as he represents Willie Mullins but he was beaten a distance on his debut at Fairyhouse. Kilavalley made a promising start over timber at Navan in March so it's a surprise to see him in a bumper but Top Madam looks certain to go well. She looked a real staying type when just caught over 2m4f at Wexford and though today's shorter trip won't be in her favour the softer ground certainly will. However, a chance is taken on newcomer COURTLY DANE. Bill Durkan's son of Danehill Dancer is the brother of a Moyglare Stud winner and out of a 6f winner so he should have more pace than these and hopefully can make a winning start.
