Verdict
SKONTONOVSKI has won four times here including from an 8lb higher mark a year ago. Adam Caffrey can claim 7lb so Ado McGuinness' charge is taken to get back on the winning trail. Evening Verse has been running well without winning and the assessor has been unable to drop him but Royal Tribute does better over 7f. Admiral Nelson started his career with a victory at the Curragh for Aidan O'Brien but has been massively disappointing which is why he's been dropped enough to get into the 0-70 handicap. Jazz Dreamers was reasonably consistent on Turf and has only had two starts here so is entitled to improve for his run behind Arcanears last month.
