Verdict
There is probably more quantity than quality on show in this and MILLSTREAM NED (NAP) could be a good bet to follow up last month's course and distance win. He's 6lb higher but Shane Shortall claims back a couple of pounds and is one of the more experienced conditionals riding in this. Pace And Passion is quite consistent and should give another good account while Misty Weather made a promising reappearance at Cork after a very long absence. Battling Spirit may be best of the rest as Cloudy Morning has been climbing the weights again lately despite not winning.
