Verdict
Mike McCann is the form pick on his close second to Pulled Mussell at Cork but he's been very disappointing in his last three starts and weakened very quickly over this track and trip last time. HORSE NO NAME finished runner-up in that event and though beaten a long way that was only his second start since arriving from France, where he won twice on the Flat, and he can go one better. Elis Gury won three races on the level in Germany before beaten in a Group 2. He certainly wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a successful start over timber for new connections but it's difficult to get excited about the remainder though Cisro ran well for a 100/1 chance behind Aengus at Naas last week and should improve.
