Verdict

Very few here without a chance in a tight handicap though Camorra will need to be smart to carry his big weight to victory despite a winning debut in August. Sonnyboyliston looked one to follow when scoring over a mile at Gowran and made a bold bid to defy a massive 16lb rise over this trip at Navan but didn't get the clearest of runs behind Delphi. He should be thereabouts while the winner's yard is represented by the maiden Paradiso, who has the scope to do better. Charlie Bassett was mugged on the line by Springbank at Fairyhouse but ALEXEI VRONSKY came with a late burst to score over the trip at Roscommon and the placed horses haven't let the form down. Michael O'Callaghan's charge is up 9lb but taken to complete a double.
