Verdict

Dammit ran easily his best race to date behind Silent Performance at Down Royal though this looks a bit tougher. Sense Of Worth completed a double here in April and is just 4lb higher than his last victory thanks to three poor runs on Turf. Golden Twilight makes his handicap debut after landing a Curragh maiden last month while the stable's Eagle's Flight has gradually been dropping to a winnable mark. GAHERIS was sent to Windsor after landing a Leopardstown maiden but wasn't suited by fast going. He can put matters right though stable companion Irwin, a winner here in January, and Colin Keane's mount Sheishybrid are others to note.
