In depth

Verdict

Baby Whizz has gone up 8lb for beating Five O'clock Tea at Killarney but was so impressive connections may have expected more. The lightly-raced former hunter BOHER CALL has won narrowly on his last two starts but found 2m1f too short here in April and can complete a hat-trick despite a 7lb rise. Monelissio has yet to win over fences but has slipped to a fair mark and ran his best race for some time over this track and trip last month. The veteran Toomdeely doesn't win very often and though producing an excellent run at Leopardstown when last seen in February he prefers softer ground and a longer trip.
