Verdict
Politicise was only beaten a nose over 2m1f at Tipperary 11 days ago and Carl Millar takes off 7lb again but STEALTHY TOM is fancied to record back-to-back victories in this for Enda Bolger, despite being 8lb higher than last year. The eight-year-old just came up short in the La Touche Cup at the Punchestown Festival last month and will be suited by a drop back in trip. Stablemate Norwigi could also go well with An Fraoch Mor another each-way option.
