Verdict
Few of these arrive in any kind of form but Misterio and EARLS occupied the places at Down Royal last month and look the pair to follow. The former stayed on but couldn't quite get to the winner while Eddie Lynam's charge missed the break badly before staying on late. The selection is also much better drawn and can reverse the form and take this. Sebs Star, who finished sixth, also lost ground at the start and didn't get the best of runs so it would be no shock if he were to completely turn the form around. Unconscious Mind has shown good pace in all starts and should make a bold bid to concede weight all round.
