Verdict

HE KNOWS MY NAME is a real staying type as he demonstrated over 3m at Cork last month but didn't go as well when dropped back to 2m5f at Limerick. Shanklys Dream won over 2m3f here then ran well over slightly further at Tramore so he's on the shortlist. Tiger Sam's best form came a long time ago but Model Cloud has gone close to losing is maiden tag on a couple of occasions and his experience should stand him in good stead.
