In depth
Verdict
Roadtotheisland is in very good form but is better over further while High Net Worth went up 7lb for scoring over 2m2f at Downpatrick, when Diamond Dame was a long way behind, then ran moderately at Punchestown. Ronava won so easily on soft ground at Wexford that the assessor raised him 11lb and he's struggled from his new mark though over longer trips where he hasn't looked as effective. DAIGREEN (NAP) was receiving 7lb from Pleased As Punch when beating him a couple of lengths at Tramore and though the latter has slightly the better of the weights this time the winner is expected to confirm the form and complete a hat-trick.
