Verdict
Designer Cailin and Maestro Stick have both won twice around here though they have had plenty of opportunities. STORM ERIC's three placed efforts here put him in the driving seat and he couldn't handle heavy going at the Curragh. Where R U Now Bob landed a one mile handicap here in January and didn't get the run of the race on a return visit while Memorial Verse should be winning soon judging by a very good run here last month though Colin Keane, who was on board, switches to Rockbury Lad, who returns after a long break but has dropped to his lowest-ever mark.
