Verdict
ETERNAL PRESENCE started favourite for a similar race at Roscommon last week and, though no match for Whyzzat, will have come on massively for the experience and can go one better. The winner's yard is represented by Grand Revival, who won a 1m2f Fairyhouse claimer in May, while Gavin Cromwell's in-form stable has recent 7f winner Li Mu Bai engaged. Project Two was four lengths behind the selection at Roscommon but was impeded and lost momentum so should finish closer but Television and Whipsaw were beaten a long way.
