Verdict

Screen Siren has won twice around here, likes soft ground and had a warm-up at Dundalk last month. SOUNDS OF SPRING also loves the conditions as he showed when successful at the Curragh in October and only just failed to make all on similar ground over 6f at Naas last month. The veteran Downforce is another who will enjoy the going and was a bit unlucky at the Curragh a fortnight ago when Harry's Hill led for a long way and only faded in the closing stages. The three-year-old Mount Ruapehu was rewarded for some very good efforts when scoring over the course and distance in September.
