Verdict
The four-year-old Yeats Star goes for a hat-trick after a battling performance in a Punchestown handicap and though 7lb higher should get into the mix. WATERFORD WHISPERS is also on a hat-track as he makes his handicap debut following victories in maiden and novice company. He's progressing fast enough to go in again though Mount Sinai led for a long way in a Punchestown Listed contest. Champagne Admiral is improving with every run and a mark of 115 may be underestimating him.
