Verdict
Arakan Quest hasn't been beaten far in any of his last three starts and this doesn't look the toughest of races so he's likely to get into contention again. Patrick Mullins has been booked for Some Can Sing, who can definitely improve for his run at Galway as can Wellsiraussie for a fair debut at Thurles. Rosencrantz is a full-brother to a winning jumper but this can go to EASYWORK despite only finishing third of four at Naas in February as he's bred for jumping and may have found the ground too quick.
