Verdict
RAISE THE GOBLET defied an absence of almost two years to gain a shock victory over fences at Tipperary on Sunday. He hadn't shown much over hurdles previously but if in that kind of mood looks thrown in here from a mark of 79. Paul Nolan tries The Rattler Obrien in blinkers after a slightly better effort at Sligo while Mark Enright will ensure Taken Twice gets a good ride though his mount's best run came over a longer trip. Caspian Piper is another in first-time blinkers and he has run well enough on fast ground here in the past to be considered though he's still looking a few pounds high. Tillargon may prove best of the remainder.
