Verdict
Preswell Lad has suddenly got his act together and attempts a hat-trick though he's been hit by another big rise for his latest success. Waltz Legend was having just his second start over regulation fences when making a gallant attempt to lead all the way at Kilbeggan and makes his handicap debut on a reasonable mark. HIGH TALK is a regular around here and invariably goes well on fast going. Providing the ground doesn't turn soft he can gain his second victory on the track. Schindlers Rock was 20l behind Preswell Lad at Tramore and appears unlikely to reverse the form nor does Breffni Gael, who was a further 8l behind.
