Verdict
BREHON STAR had only been with Ian Donoghue a week when beating Lesssaidthebetter just over a length at Tramore last weekend. He's only five and has much more scope than the runner-up so can go in again. Seskin Flyer pops up every now and then as he did at Kilbeggan but then ran poorly on testing ground at Roscommon. I Am Spider Man ran very well over hurdles at Tramore and makes his chasing debut while Nabraska is still a maiden and returns after a long break.
