Verdict

It's difficult to see beyond THE CREWMASTER (NAP) after an impressive debut behind the experienced Boherbuoy at Galway last week where he overcame greenness and the undulations of the track to stay on strongly over that mile. He'll be much more at home here and can go one better. Spiritual Man has been looking a bit one-paced and needs to find a finishing burst while Aared has looked in need of more testing conditions. Griko is out of a winning stayer so stepping up from 7f looks the right option while Jim Bolger's 130,000 euros colt Catch Word is bred for this trip and any market moves should be noted.
