Verdict

What A Dream was having just his fourth start over fences when a beaten favourite here last month and races from the same mark. Domoly has one minor victory to his credit but is now 9lb higher while Celian is not one to trust after refusing for the third time at Newcastle last time. The Corby Glenn had little chance to recover after a bad error at the first at Fairyhouse but had run very well at Down Royal previously and isn't out of this though it's SOMETHING SILVER that gets the nod. Jim Goldie's charge didn't stay 3m1f here last time but had run quite well over the C&D previously and isn't badly treated.
