Verdict
This won't take much winning but Downpatrick scorer Ballyfinboy has yet to win over this trip, though is only 3lb higher. Neither One Fine Morning nor CURRAGH GOLAN has had the benefit of a recent run but the pair have every chance on these terms. The latter was successful over course and distance a little under a year ago and kept decent company after so we'll take a chance on his fitness. Close Review was third in this last year and is 7lb lower but the veteran also has an absence to overcome. Softer ground might have suited Churchfield Champ but he was second off this mark at Roscommon last year.
