Verdict
Old Theatre Royal is upped 7lb for winning at Wexford last time and Raydari looks high enough in the weights back over hurdles. But Boxer Beat can race off a much lower mark having finished third over fences at Killarney makes plenty of appeal. TREACY HOTELS BOY went close at Kilbeggan on his latest start and can effectively compete off a lower mark with Brian Hayes' allowance taken into account. He gets the vote with A Decent Excuse, May Dullea and Ballinrobe winner Curragh Golan possibly best of the rest.
