Verdict

Round Tower has had 11 starts over timber without winning but has several lines of form that put him in the frame for this and he likes the trip. However, he was behind BAKERS STREET, who was an 80/1 chance when runner-up to Rathmuck Native over the minimum here last month. A winning point-to-pointer, Paul Power's charge will have no trouble staying the extra and can go one better. Undefined Beauty was in touch and travelling well when making a mess of the third-last that day and she's since performed well at Kilbeggan so is an obvious threat. Clarin Lad produced a decent run at Killarney in May but ran very poorly at Kilbeggan later while Burgess View is tried in blinkers after being beaten a long way here three weeks ago.
