In depth
Verdict
Close One has struggled under a 6lb weight rise following his victory at Roscommon though at least he's proven over the trip. Back To Drumdeel was having his first start since November when third in a big field at Tipperary so with that under his belt should give a good account. TAKEN TWICE (NAP) makes a quick reappearance after an excellent second to Johnston's Best at Ballinrobe on Tuesday where he was staying on strongly over the 2m4f trip. He likes fast ground and is taken to go one better. Carmels Boy has won twice over fences but is yet to score over timber which is why he's on a 20lb lower mark. That should enable him to get competitive while Sheadogue Molly ran her best race to date over timber at Galway last time where the fast ground appeared to aid her cause.
