Verdict

Man In Black has been ultra-consistent over shorter trips and with Pat Smullen on board for the first time he should make a bold bid to finally lose that maiden tag. The lightly-raced Sacred Sovereign is another who can benefit from a step-up in trip as he's been finishing strongly over shorter though he's held by Sarsfields Legend on their run behind The Silver Crown at Ballinrobe and Charlie Swan's charge is another who can benefit from this longer distance. Gypsy Rose has been struggling at the weights since completing an early summer double and is poorly handicapped with NOELEENS MOON, just half-a-length behind over the trip at Tramore in June but 6lbs better off here. Horsewithnoname produced his worst recent effort when sent over 1m5f at Bellewstown a month ago and will need to do much better.
