Verdict
SOUTH WING has certainly found his feet and his two recent victories have come in contrasting styles. This is a little tougher but he can complete a hat-trick while in such good heart. Benefit Of Porter looks a big threat as she ran a fine race on the Flat at Leopardstown last week after landing a chase at Listowel. She loves fast ground and looks certain to be involved at the business end. Warcraft is better known as a chaser these days but the lightly-raced Captain Declan is striking form at the right time and is looking well enough handicapped to make his presence felt. Benefitthewest is another who hasn't had much experience but there was plenty to like about her run behind Sea Of Erris at Wexford last time.
