Verdict

APOTHIC RED steps up in grade having finished second at Sligo, but should be competitive. Although well held in maidens, he wasn't beaten far behind prolific winner Meriden here in April and ran well under a big weight at Sligo. He has been raised 2lb, but his jockey claims 7lb and he gets the nod. Naoi hit the back of the net at Leopardstown, but is effectively 9lb higher as his same rider is unable to utilise his 5lb claim. Rosato is 4lb higher and without her rider's 5lb claim having finished second over C&D last week. Faoladh tries this trip for the first time.
