Verdict
John Nallen has placed CRISTAL CLERE expertly to win four times since March and he was beaten a short-head in the other. He's only 1lb higher than his latest victory and can go in again. Laughifuwant looks a major threat as, though he's up 5lb for scoring under Colin Keane at Galway, his rider claims 7lb here. The champion is on board Lust, a Listed winner last year who was having only his second start of the campaign when narrowly beaten at Roscommon earlier this month. He easily holds Spanish Tenor on last year's form but Fast Tara has raced exclusively at pattern level since landing a heavy-ground maiden at Bellewstown and is greatly respected. Earls won the race a year ago, the third leg of a four-timer, and is just a pound higher than when landing a premier handicap at Cork in May.
