Verdict
Boola Boola is only third reserve but would have an obvious chance if getting a run after Tuesday's victory over 1m4f. He'd earlier finished behind EMERIC (NAP) when Paul Flynn's charge scored over this trip and though 8lb higher Colin Keane can steer him home again. Runner-up Dark Street has a chance of reversing the form on these terms though the winner had a bit in hand. Barretstown was returning from a break when gaining his second victory on the track in February and a 5lb rise doesn't look excessive while French Company, who won here in January, was narrowly beaten into third over 1m4f last month.
