Verdict
Max Moonhead was only just touched off at Tramore last month and didn't get the run of the race at Wexford so has to be respected. Frazel Express has done enough to suggest she can find a race though probably over hurdles so this could be destined to go to a newcomer. An Caisteal Nuadh is related to two winning hurdlers and Gordon Elliott's charge should make his presence felt as should Foxearth, though he's another who should do better over obstacles. PATRICKS BOY is a half-brother to a winning miler and out of a 1m2f winner so he should have more pace than most of these and can make it count on the prevailing quick ground.
