Verdict
Lukes Hill, Drive The Bus and Chief Of Panama all made the frame last time and have place claims again in this. It's All An Act may have found the ground too fast at Down Royal last time and has better prospects on today's surface. Rhinestone Cowgirl looks interesting back over timber and Downpatrick fourth The Gentler will be helped by Shane Butler's claim. June's course and distance winner PIERLOW didn't do as well over 3m at Tipperary next time but was more like his old self when fourth at Tramore last month. He has improved this year and may be ready to score for a second time.
