In depth

Verdict

Caesar's Comet is best in claimers these days, winning one at Bellewstown earlier this month. He had no answer to Ecliptic Moon at Dundalk last week though the winner has an 8lb rise to contend with. Cracking Name has won around here and was nowhere near right at Cork last time but Summer's Dream has been in excellent form gaining her second victory in recent weeks at Killarney. Hidden Spark has looked high enough in the weights after scoring twice earlier in the campaign but MISS FLORENTINE can make amends for a narrow defeat at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago where she just failed to defy an 8lb rise for a comfortable victory at Roscommon.
