Verdict

STARTING MONDAY won this on his reappearance under Bill Lee in 2021 and is just 1lb higher. He hasn't won subsequently but will love the conditions. The maiden Storm Eric has been going well at Dundalk but keeps going up without winning. Chavajod is 1-22 and was beaten in a claimer last time while Razdan hasn't won on Turf though is fit from a recent run over hurdles. Lofoten hasn't shown much but Colin Keane's presence is intriguing
