Going - Soft to Heavy, heavy in places. Overcast and showery

Formscan By Alan Magee - SOUND AS A BELL impressively beat Boycetown in a point-to-point and having gained experience over hurdles, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding takes a drop in class in this maiden for horses that have not finished in the first four under Rules. Don Jefe showed promise when fifth behind The Reverend at Cork and Michael Kenneally again claims a valuable 7lb, while the Ian Donoghue-trained pair Gallant George and Silver Salute are others to consider. Walking Saint has indicated ability on both starts and can’t be lightly discounted.
