Verdict

Church Mountain was well beaten here on Tuesday. Dedillon won this last year off a 4lb lower mark and Andrew Slattery can't use his 3lb claim this time. Big Baby Bull was having his first start for new connections when scoring at Naas and Colin Keane has been booked while with her stable in outstanding form Aurora Princess has to enter the equation after another fine run at the Curragh. Plunkett arrives in top form though an 8lb rise for his Leopardstown victory makes this tougher while Ampeson, who defied a 7lb penalty when completing a double at Leopardstown, has also been hit with another 8lb. COMFORT LINE's second to Raadobarg in the Irish Lincoln would probably be good enough and he bounced back to form at Fairyhouse but Cosmic Vega's latest second place at Roscommon came on testing ground. Ballinrobe winner Takeachancejimmy would also prefer more rain.
