Verdict
Mads Black Eights won this last year and showed a bit more dash at Down Royal after a break. Velvet And Vine has improved with each run and makes her handicap debut while Dutch Glory was staying on at Dundalk after a comfortable success at Listowel. GIVEMEFIVE is on the upgrade and was in the lead at this trip when tackling 1m2f at Cork so Johnny Murtagh's charge gets the nod to go one better. Rampage is at the top of his game at present and a 7lb rise for his course and distance success is unlikely to prevent another big run. Khattaat was engaged in the 7.10 at Gowran last night.
