Verdict
Winning bumper Invictus World makes his handicap debut after landing a Downpatrick maiden though that was over 2m6f. Cave Court hadn't shown much before sent to Perth where he gained a smooth victory while Tullybawn makes his handicap debut after a good run at Tramore. The four-year-old Realism is probably better than his form figures suggest while Clever Currency is just 4lb higher than when landing a Leopardstown handicap in March but DOYENNA is taken to put a couple of disappointing runs behind her. Twice a winner last season, she's been well supported in both starts this term but jumped poorly when pulled up at Tramore last time.
