Verdict
DRUMLEE has had plenty of chances since his bumper victory but this looks a good opportunity to lose his maiden tag. His last two defeats, here and at Naas, have been against stronger opposition than he meets here and his run behind the odds-on Daneking two weeks ago give him the edge. Taglietelle caught the eye in that latter event and he can get closer but Crystal Earth has been beaten a long way despite finishing runner-up in her two latest starts and may have to settle for a place again. A Grey Matter hasn't performed badly in his two starts under Rules and can improve without troubling the principals.
