Verdict
NOT TOO REAL BAD has improved with every run and only just failed to concede 3lb to El Tesoro over the course and distance last time so should go one better. Kodi Noir hasn't improved from his Fairyhouse victory while Fast Trek only showed moderate form in the UK and makes his handicap debut. Bonny Power has been running a bit better than form figures suggest while Colin Keane may get a tune out of Coolcalmncollected, who has been racing in very testing conditions.
