Verdict
Dawerann doesn't have the best of strike-rates but dropped back to this trip at Navan last month and produced his best run for a long time. He could have done without a 6lb rise in the weights and NEDDYVAUGHAN can have his measure. The latter had been in good form before scoring at Thurles and was attempting to concede the winner a stone when caught on the run-in on the same track a week later when The Irregular wasn't far behind. The latter hasn't had much experience and should get closer at the revised weights but Tintown Robin was a disappointment in the race. Omega Springs has continued to perform with credit after beating a big field at Gowran and should be thereabouts again but All The Chimneys, who returns after a break, could do with some rain as he completed a double on heavy ground in the spring.
