        Verdict

        Monaadhil scored over track and trip back in April and could pop up again racing off a similar mark but the three-year-old IRISH DESSERT has more scope. The latter finished third at Leicester last month and the handicapper has given him a chance with a further drop in the weights. Flying Barty has also slipped down the handicap and Thomas Equinas is better than a recent run at Yarmouth suggests.
