Verdict
Liss Na Tintri has been highly tried and is unfortunate not to have lost her maiden tag. She will deservedly attract support but DILSHAAN'S PRIZE could be a cut above here. Noel Meade's ex-French Flat winner landed a handicap at the Curragh in April on his debut for new connections and his opening run over timber behind Ballyadam Brook could hardly have been better advertised as the winner has won two stronger contests subsequently. Stayclosetome is progressing nicely and is one for the future while the likes of Definite All Star, Carrleoni and Sea Master make this an interesting opener.
