Verdict

It's amazing that Mr Dazza is still a maiden after 15 starts but he will surely be winning soon. His recent second to Dusty Trail was another fine effort and Barry Geraghty will get the best out of him. Sole Witness won a bumper here in February but that was on very testing going and it remains to be seen how he handles today's much faster conditions. CELTIC WISH hasn't had much experience and was making his debut over timber when an excellent third in a huge field at Naas in March. The runner-up has won since and Gerard Mullins' charge has plenty of scope for further progress. For A Finish appeared to find Tipperary's three miles to his liking when runner-up to King Of Redfield but he's run well previously over today's trip and is at home on fast ground while Bacher Boy is another to consider as his close second to Unforgivable at Limerick in December was a fine effort.
