Verdict
CAVE COURT (NAP) completed a hat-trick at Listowel last week, when Kilashee was well beaten, and though raised 13lb he arrives with a 7lb penalty and his regular rider takes over again with his 7lb claim so a four-timer looks on the cards. Padraic's Choice had been mainly disappointing before making all for a very convincing victory at Downpatrick last month and an 8lb rise looks manageable. Itsalonglongroad is gradually slipping to a winnable mark and should make a bold bid to lead all but General Clermont, a winner over timber last month, has failed to reach a place in five starts over fences.
