    Verdict

    Work Boy is making steady progress and landed a double when beating Double Default, who runs in the previous race on the card, at Carlisle last month. Locked Inthepocket is also going the right way having won over C&D before falling at Musselburgh when still in contention. Irish raider Schindlers Maze won over 3m last March but was pulled-up on his recent reappearance and this can go to STORMIN EXIT. He's been racing in better company at Leopardstown recently but last April's win over C&D is the stand out piece of form here. Jim Goldie's charge had the smart chasers Five Dream and Takeroc behind on that occasion and a repeat performance should see him home and dry in this company.
