Verdict
Perfect Tapatino is in excellent form and a 3lb rise for his victory on soft ground at Gowran is unlikely to prevent another big run. Willie Mullins tries Legal Spin in blinkers and Rachael Blackmore takes on the Flat jockeys as the stable's usual rider Colin Keane is claimed for Inscribe. Halimi had Red Gerry back in third when scoring over this trip at Galway but hasn't done so well over further in subsequent starts. Elite Trooper Grey had been running well before scoring over 1m2f at Sligo and should get into contention but the front-running PEARL WARRIOR won so easily when completing a double at Tramore that a 7lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a hat-trick.
