Verdict
The Boat People was having only his fifth start over hurdles when making all and beating MASKED PHANTOM over slightly shorter here last month and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort,though the runner-up will appreciate the extra furlong and looks the one to beat in a tough handicap. Maid Of Malabar was staying on in that event and with the weights in her favour she can get into the firing-line. Sea Stallion was winning for the first time at Gowran a month ago and he hasn't had much experience for his age so there could be more to come. Moving On is consistent enough but three victories from 95 starts is a poor return and Raheenwood may have a better chance after a good run over a trip too short at Wexford. Prince Of Dubai has more scope than most and this longer trip could be just what he needs to get off the mark.
