Verdict
MILITARY HILL has had just the three outings and there should be more to come from him now handicapping. Korbous was a close-up fourth at Leopardstown on his comeback run and can figure off the same mark but Maskoon has struggled since winning at Dundalk last year. Sapphirine scored on the all-weather in France back in April and has now joined Johnny Murtagh while Prince Jock won over a slightly longer trip here in June but is 9lb higher for this and has been well beaten since.
