Verdict
The veteran Charming Hymn will have needed the run behind Ach Aye Surely at Limerick last month, his first start since October, though a career record of 1-48 is offputting to say the least. Breeze With Ease had shown virtually nothing before a fine run in a maiden at Down Royal and that should have boosted his confidence enough to make his presence felt. Mon Champion is still looking a few pounds high in the weights but WATERMELON doesn't look badly treated on her second at Down Royal early last month though potential punters will need to ignore her disappointing effort when fancied over 2m4f at Cork last time. The Occupier has produced the occasional decent run and has slipped to what appears a workable mark.
