        Verdict

        Air Chief is extremely versatile and reappeared on the Flat at Roscommon in June, seven months after running over hurdles at Cheltenham. He won with a bit in hand from Hurricane Season and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. Positive Vibes hasn't taken to hurdling and was well beaten on all four starts before reverting to the Flat to finish runner-up behind Bobskier at Tramore though he was beaten a long way. CROUCHING HARRY has never won on the level but he's produced some fair runs and though not seen since New Year's Day he looks well handicapped and Joseph O'Brien's presence is a very positive sign. He gets the vote as though Boxer Beat ran well over a trip too short last time he's still a maiden after 39 career starts. Una Veintena hasn't shown much to date but there's plenty of time for her to make progress.
