Verdict

MR MOOJ (NAP) was awarded a race over a mile at Dundalk in January and didn't reappear until last month when third over 1m2f at Fairyhouse. He suffered interference at a crucial stage before staying on strongly and can gain compensation over this longer trip. Liquid Luck has also only had three starts and his close second to the smart Great House over this trip at Limerick was a fine effort so he should be thereabouts. Moktamel keeps finding one or two too good from this sort of mark but Place Des Voges won well at the Curragh though a 10lb rise makes this much more difficult. Dollar Value, the only course and distance winner in the line-up, ran very well at Bellewstown after scoring here last month and also over hurdles last week.
