oddschecker Verdict
NOD OF APPROVAL flopped as a gambled-on favourite at last year's Festival, but can put things right now. Out of a Galileo mare, he disappointed badly here last August but has recently shown glimpses of form and finished well behind Darius Dark at Cork in April and the Curragh last month. His same rider utilises his 5lb claim today. Darius Dark is chasing a four-timer, but is 8lb higher than at the Curragh. Vantage Code has changed ownership since finishing second to Nermal at Roscommon and steps up further in trip, while Themis scored easily at Limerick but is 14lb higher.
Prediction: 1st Nod Of Approval, 2nd Darius Dark, 3rd Vantage Code
