Verdict
Little Mixup is in tremendous form having won three of his last four. He's up 9lb for his latest success but had plenty in hand and has Mark McDonagh's 2lb claim to aid his cause. At the other end of the handicap, Circus Act has also been in top form having won and been placed in the UK though she's 10lb higher than when in the frame at Down Royal in January. Pont Audemer landed a gamble at Limerick for which he went up a massive 15lb. He again ran well at Naas but BY YOUR SIDE, who finished a close fourth, made a mistake at the last that didn't help. He'd suffered a similar fate on the same track previously and can gain compensation. Carbon King beat a huge field over this trip at Naas and defied a 13lb rise to score very easily over 2m5f at Limerick but is up another 16lb. Cafe Con Leche is one to note in the market.
