Verdict
Palace Rock and Take All finished 1-2 here last month and there's every reason to suspect there'll be little between the pair again. The latter is 5lb better off here and it would come as no surprise were the Fahey inmate to reverse placings here. However, despite being hammered with a 13lb rise for his latest success, MACS CHARM still makes most appeal as he was mightily impressive when scooting clear at Gowran Park last time. Bread And Butter continues to perform consistently well and should be in the mix again along with recent Fairyhouse third Homme D'Un Soir.
