Verdict
Oisin Murphy is booked for Dragon Of Malta, who went up 9lb for scoring on heavy ground at Galway. He didn't get involved at Roscommon next time but can do better. Mercurial never got close to Purring Along, who runs in the previous race, at Galway but ran on to finish second and his previous run at the Curragh puts him in the frame. SIRJACK THOMAS (NAP) gained the last of his seven victories at the Curragh in May when beating Coeur D'or half-a-length. He was just over a length behind that progressive winner on a return visit last month, with Free Solo behind, and can gain victory number eight. On Our Radar and Finsceal Go Deo are consistent performers at the right end of the handicap
