Verdict

KING'S WHARF has suddenly found his form and followed his victory over hurdles on this track with a battling success over fences at Wexford. The assessor has took note and he's now a massive 14lb higher but he looks the type to climb further up the ratings and can complete a hat-trick. Casimir Road has yet to win over fences but should soon put the right judged on his close second at Tipperary last month. Liberty's Gift easily landed a handicap at Ballinrobe in May and though 6lb higher a return to that kind of form would see him in contention. The veteran Valours Minion last won in September but proved he was no back number with a fine second place at Kilbeggan.
