Verdict

Betterthanalright is strong staying type on a fair mark who should get involved but Rising Time hasn't made the expected progress. DAYS AHEAD has been in winning form at Dundalk and, though he's yet to prove he stays this far over fences, he's given the nod ahead of High Desert, who won easily over the minimum trip here in January and bounced back to form at Wexford last month. Colls Corner has won five times in his career and is always worth noting in this kind of company.
