Verdict
SILKEN LADDER scored over the course and distance just over a year ago and has been given a chance by the assessor. Dragon Of Malta has also won here and would have a chance if the ground eases further, especially with Colin Keane booked. Free Solo is back in Ireland after a spell in the UK but hasn't run since a neck defeat at Dundalk in March. Turbulence won a course and distance maiden a year ago and has performed with credit on ground softer than ideal over further subsequently. Billy Lee has been on board for both of Starting Monday's victories while Solar Breeze didn't quite get the run of the race when last seen at Dundalk in March after scoring there earlier.
