Verdict
TRY AGAIN was unplaced in seven starts on Turf which is why he was on a mark of 48 at Dundalk in January where he gained the first of his three victories on the track taking him on to 64. If continuing his progress back on Turf he'll obviously be difficult to beat and gets the nod. Carrigeen Prince is another with poor form on Turf who has improved over the winter and should go well while Vocal Experience is the type to do better as he's only had six starts. Our Max has won twice on the all-weather but never on Turf and though No Way Jack hasn't been beaten far in recent runs a strike-rate of 1-34 doesn't instil confidence.
