Verdict

Stamp Of Authority is the only course and distance winner here and he's only 2lb higher despite having scored under Karen Kenny at Ayr earlier this month so has to be on the shortlist. Conversant has really found his form since facing soft ground and followed his victory over an extended 6f at Listowel with very good runs here and at Cork. He looks the safest option in a tricky handicap. Scorpion Black gained his only victory to date over a mile here though hasn't gone so well in subsequent starts on the track but Building Year has shown a bit more dash in his last two starts on this track. Adapt To Dan, another long-time maiden, ran well at Cork last time though could probably do with another furlong.
