FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Down to a career low mark of 59, EL BELLO might be able to defy top-weight in this competitive affair. Third on two starts at the Curragh earlier this season, he done well to finish seventh when drawn widest of all on his penultimate outing at this venue. While disappointing most recently at Listowel, he is given the chance to redeem himself. Harbanaker and Saxon Kingdom are both bidding for follow-up wins, with the former successful over the course and distance in April when rated just 41. Beaten by a neck in a 20-runner Naas contest, Roderick is sure to have plenty of supporters with Shane Foley aboard, while others for the shortlist are Starting Monday and three-time course and distance winner Smaoineamh Sile.
