Verdict
Taunton maiden winner Scardura travels over from England having finished last in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham when last seen. He remains unexposed while Arcadian Sunrise has yet to finish out of the frame under Rules having won a Carlisle bumper and a Thurles maiden. Funky Dady had less than a lengths to spare over BARNAVIDDAN at Fairyhouse and is now 6lb worse off so this looks a good opportunity for Thomas Mullins’ gelding to make in third-time lucky over timber.
