In depth
Verdict
DADS LAD has made slow but steady progress and had a bit in hand when landing a Sligo maiden last month. He starts out in handicaps on a lowly mark and can go in again. Sevenna Star was beaten five lengths at Sligo but was conceding 8lb so should get closer without reversing the form. Crassus gained a deserved victory on the Flat at the Curragh last time and has improved since last seen over hurdles so has to be a threat. Takarengo, a decent staying handicapper on the Flat, landed a 2m4f maiden in March and doesn't look badly treated with Jack Foley's claim taken into consideration.
