In depth
Verdict
Bring Us Paradise stays the trip and is more than capable of carrying big weights as he did when successful at Bellewstown. Unanswered completed a four-timer in early summer and has been narrowly beaten in his two latest starts but another 4lb rise makes this even tougher. Final Endeavour landed a ladies' race over 1m4f here last time and stays the trip while Tronador had a bit in hand when scoring over the trip at Bellewstown, though has been raised 9lb. Barometer is in very good form and is suited by the trip but the way SECRET SECRET won on heavy ground at Navan last week suggests Emmet Mullins' recruit from the UK is well treated despite a massive 15lb rise in the ratings.
