          Verdict

          Gegenpressing has a big weight but is 2lb lower than his last winning mark and a high draw should enable him to get into contention. Catherine Chroi, three times an all-weather winner, is 0-23 on Turf though has run very well in her last three starts. FLORENCE THOMPSON is 0-37 but was only beaten half-a-length over 6f at Fairyhouse when attempting to make all. She had Eriskay behind that day and can confirm the form and finally get off the mark. Tall Story is also still a maiden and likes some cut in the ground.
