Verdict
The assessor has taken a dim view of FULL NOISE landing a gamble at Downpatrick and raised him 12lb though it may not be enough to prevent a follow-up. Sean Says has managed to win four races and will enjoy the quicker ground more than most while Sanibel Island wins his share, jumps well and stays the trip so has to be respected. Tullyhogue Fort would have a chance on his hurdles form but hasn't shown much over fences while the veteran Well Joey is on a very long losing run. Steps Match was placed twice over the course and distance on good ground last summer but has a long absence to overcome. Danny Mullins is a positive booking for winning hurdler He Fitz In while Chainofconsequence looks best of the remainder.
