    Verdict

    KNIGHT EAGLE is the pick on ratings and ran so well behind Bright Horizon at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago that he looks certain to take all the beating. Snap Alam scored over the C&D at the end of last month but was well beaten in a better handicap at Leopardstown subsequently and has a few pounds to find. Smokey Cloud has never raced beyond a mile but his fourth behind Book Of Numbers on his return to action at Wexford was a good effort and he's no forlorn hope. Mac Tiernan has shown very little over a variety of distances and needs major improvement to get involved.
