Verdict

Garrai Phaidin is now 15lb higher than when scoring at Thurles back in February and Curragh Golan is preferred off his current mark having won at Wexford last month. He Rock's was still beaten a long way when placed at Galway recently but ARD CREGG finished a lot closer at Killarney just five days ago and she could be set for a return to winning ways racing off the same mark here. Massinis Adventure has failed to complete either side of finishing second at Clonmel but Irish Bulletin can race off a lower mark than when winning over hurdles last month.
