Verdict

Swiss Army Officer landed his first success since the midsummer of 2021 when scoring at Roscommon under his promising pilot and the combination could well go close again. That was only his third success in 43 starts though and it would be a good performance to back up that win off this 5lb higher mark. Manhattan Dandy ran a good third on the same day at Roscommon over this trip and the bare form of the performance sees him competitive. He is still a maiden though after 41 starts and is hard to be confident about. Blue Wood and Dutch Glory ought to be in the mix too, but the choice is WHAT ADAAY who receives weight all round, was in good form when last seen and the booking of Dylan Browne McMonagle suggests he's ready to go despite an eight-month absence.
