Verdict
Crazyheart is consistent but more rain would aid his cause after winning on testing ground at Wexford in March. Veinard has been running in better company and is just 1lb higher than when scoring at Ayr in February but stable companion Dakota Moirette has yet to win over fences. The veteran Presenting Mahler is on a losing run but looks well enough treated under Kevin Brouder though the vote goes to TISAMYSTERY (NAP). Henry De Bromhead's charge comfortably landed a Leopardstown handicap in December and has been given a break since well beaten in a much better race back there in February.
