In depth
Verdict
Useful hunter Mount Sion tackles a handicap for the first time and though scoring at Downpatrick last time looks high enough in the weights. LUSIAD has now gone 18 starts over fences without winning but he's produced several strong performances and is well enough weighted to finally gain that elusive first success. Island Peak found 2m1f too short at Ballinrobe after scoring over this trip and should make a bold bid to defy his big weight while any further rain would aid the cause of Lock Mor Lad, who returns after a break and is well in at his best. Dunroe Boy won easily over hurdles at Punchestown last month and can revert to fences off a much lower mark so has to be respected.
