        Verdict

        Not many of these arrive in form so course winner Plough Boy would have a chance if getting a run from his reserve spot. Mulzamm slips further down the ratings even though he hasn’t run badly lately, though his inexperienced pilot has yet to ride a winner. Caesar's Comet has been beaten twice off this mark since landing a track and trip claimer and Basrah Breeze is 0-23. TALKING TOUGH was only beaten half-a-length over a similar trip at Roscommon last week. He’s gone up a pound but Wesley Joyce takes off 7lb again and Mick Mulvany’s four-year-old is preferred to long-standing maiden Accessory.
