Verdict

Money Belt was in fine form at this time a year ago and after losing his way a little looked on the way back when fourth to Mister Farmer at Navan last month. All of JACK ABSOLUTE's four career victories have been gained here and there was plenty to like about his staying-on fourth behind Clarkey last month. Rockers Field has been running well over timber but has failed to convince over the bigger obstacles and a bigger threat may emerge from Gordon Elliott's Imperial Storm, who was having his first start for over a year at Navan last month and has dropped to a fair mark over fences.
