Verdict
Men Of Dreams, 0-20 on the Flat, was having his third start over timber when making all over the track and trip last month so should have more to offer. Thecompanysergeant landed a Navan maiden in March before finishing second in a Fairyhouse Grade 2, though beaten a long way. He was taking on too much in a very tough 2m6f handicap at Galway and this is more his level. Baltic Bird sluiced up at Cork and Mighty Mo Missouri finally got off the mark on this track but the vote goes to SHAJAK (NAP). An easy maiden winner at Limerick, he's since run a cracker on the Flat at Galway and is still progressing.
