In depth

Verdict

Third Avenue had shown only moderate ability before scoring at Bellewstown a fortnight ago for which he's gone up 7lb. Boom Boom Boom should be losing his maiden tag soon judging by his latest run at Tipperary while Park Row's narrow defeat at Down Royal has been boosted by the winner completing a double. He looks certain to make a bold bid for a tenth career success though it's difficult to get away from the chance of PUNTERS POET (NAP). Matt Smith's charge has won two of his last four over hurdles, going up 16lb as a result, and reverts to the Flat on a basement mark.
