Verdict

SHALAMAN wasn't winning out of turn here last week but has a 6lb rise to contend with. Leigh Roche' claim takes care of half of that and his mount can go in again. Equation Of Time also won here last time though that was over a mile and he's never been as far as this, but Paene Magnus scored on this card a year ago and ran a superb race under a huge weight behind Campanology at the Curragh on Sunday. Victory Song has his first start on the surface and didn't handle heavy ground at Listowel so is better judged on his earlier maiden victory at the Curragh.
