Verdict

Toushan won this on his reappearance in 2017 and is 6lb lower. He hasn't run since last summer but has probably been primed for another crack. Cappacurry Zak has won three times around here and is fit from a couple of runs between the flags. HASH BROWN is on a losing run but has been racing on ground too quick and should find these conditions to his liking so gets the nod. He Rock's hasn't won since 2016 but would have a real chance on his close second at Galway in September but Flemenstorm was well beaten when third in this last year. Rightdownthemiddle has been hurdling all year and is 21lb higher over fences.
