Tenth Amendment has the highest rating in this claimer but has not been in the best of form lately and shares top weight with newcomer Kupa River. CUL AN TI was behind Machine Head and Blue Book when favourite at Roscommon earlier this month but could be the pick of the weights today on an earlier second at Fairyhouse. It’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
