Verdict
Unique Style finished runner-up at Navan last month with DO THE BOSANOVA a couple of lengths behind in third place. The latter is less exposed and can find the improvement necessary to reverse the form and come out best here. The Quiet Hawk and Missy O'Gwaun have something to find with the selection on latest running, but Whatever It Takes has solid claims after opening his account at Tipperary recently with Music On D Waters only a short-head behind. Harrison's Cave could prove best of the rest.
