Verdict

Hawk Flight won this two years ago, his only success in 43 career starts. Takeyourcapoff was well beaten on his reappearance over hurdles but showed good form on the Flat last summer and can go well. Justification won a Dundalk maiden in 2011 but didn't reappear until almost a year later which has to be a concern. RAISE THE BEAT has had very little racing for his age and looks to be progressing as he won very easily at Dundalk last month. This is tougher but he's on a handy weight and is given the nod though promising hurdler Rossvos is one to keep an eye on in the betting.
