Verdict

MULLAGHMURPHY BLUE was strongly supported in earlier runs before gaining an impressive victory at Stradbally and Jim Dreaper's youngster should be good enough for this. Double Captain has finished second in his last four starts between the flags and hasn't won since 2014 but Isn't She Lovely made all to easy beat three rivals at Portrush in March. Can Pay Wont Pay and Buzzkillbob both failed to finish at Punchestown a week ago while Insufficient Funds followed last month's Dromhane maiden victory with a poor effort at Dawstown on Monday.
