Verdict

Stellar Mass hasn't won since 2016 and all of his winning form is on much quicker ground than he'll face here. He's well clear on official ratings but AMEDEO MODIGLIANI could turn out to be very useful. A very easy winner on soft ground at Galway in August 2017, he has an entry in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup so must be well regarded. Still Standing won a maiden here in 2017 and three handicaps in four starts last summer. There's every chance he'll improve further and deserves a crack at this grade. Hazel Bay made a very promising debut in a Navan Listed contest last April and wasn't seen again until a short-head defeat at Dundalk last month but Tiger Voice hasn't shown much over hurdles after scoring on the Flat in France.
