Verdict
Ramiro won this last year and was conceding 3lb when beating Wee Pablo a head at Limerick in July. The pair meet on the same terms here so there should be nothing between them. IS THAT LOVE (NAP) completed a hat-trick in May and had dropped back to a fair mark when narrowly beaten at Dundalk and at Fairyhouse on Monday where his rider could only claim 2lb in that apprentice contest. He can get back to winning ways. Starting Monday had every chance when only fifth here on Tuesday and likes testing ground. Big Island beat Galactic Grey, who goes earlier, at Tipperary and didn't get the run of the race at Leopardstown next time. Thunder Rain has been running better than recent form figures imply and Sam Ewing's claim is a bonus. Castletownshend is 1-29 but on his lowest ever mark and Colin Keane is in the saddle.
