      Verdict

      Rummaging has won six times in his career - all at Dundalk though he ran quite well on his return to Turf here recently. Strait Of Zanzibar finished just in front of him that day and is consistent enough to get into the action and though Texas Rock hasn't won for almost a year and is 11lb higher he's been running in better company, including at the Curragh on Saturday behind Hasanour. BEAU SATCHEL finished a very good third in that latter event and if in the same kind of mood would take some beating so gets the verdict. Splashtop has more to offer though all of her starts to date have been on ground with some give.
