    Verdict

    Winning chaser Muzak may not have the pace for this but Kieran Quigley's claim will help the reasonably-treated Boxer Beat while Definite All Star is another tumbling down the weights and could do better on this easier ground. Clancy Strand had Ionisphere back in third when successful at Naas last month but was behind City Line when unable to follow up that success at Roscommon. That was a big step up on recent form by the latter and he won't be far away again if in the same mood here while Georgie and Serein aren't without a chance. ROISIN DUBH won a bumper at Kilbeggan last month and has plenty of scope over hurdles. Providing her jumping stands up to scrutiny, she could be worth a small interest in a wide-open handicap though Craigs Dream was still in front when falling at Cork last time.
