Verdict
Xcite had run well on fast ground at Fairyhouse and had no difficulty landing the odds on testing going here last month. There should be more to come from Jessica Harrington's filly and she can make a bold bid to defy her big weight. Ideal Pal has suddenly found his form and though he only had two to beat when completing a double at Sligo one was the odds-on Third World. With Nathan Crosse claiming 5lb he looks certain to go well but the vote goes to CUBAN SURFER. Jim Bolger's filly was in the lead at this trip before succumbing to Finding Nero over an extra furlong at Down Royal and can go one better. Dragon Roll is held on that run while Faerie Laws won a Roscommon maiden claimer and will find this much tougher. Insane Bolt hasn't been running badly since scoring at Gowran but is 7lb higher. Palabres was engaged in the 6.00 at the Curragh yesterday.
