Verdict

Many more of these arrive here in better form than in division one including War Room, six times a winner on the track and a surprise winner from Bouquet Garni at Bellewstown and better off at the weights. Lady Rosebud and reserve Beau Satchel are also specialists around here and finished 1-2 here in March while Piper Bomb is only 2lb higher than when scoring here in December. It's almost two years since Paved With Gold gained his only success on this track but he nearly doubled his tally at Killarney last month so should make a bold bid though it's the progressive LITTLE CAMACHO who gets the vote. She signalled an imminent victory when runner-up here last month and duly obliged with the minimum of fuss at Down Royal - a mark of 52 looks workable.
