Verdict

The last three winners have been drawn one and Harry Speed must have a chance of keeping up the sequence as he's dropped to a very low mark and led for a long way at Roscommon, though it's a long time since he won. Peter Fahey's horses have been running well and CANFORD ART (NAP) can keep up the good work. She wasn't beaten far in a big field at Navan earlier this month before a comfortable victory at Limerick last week and a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. Dance Alone ran well in her two starts in April and was well supported at Leopardstown last month but disappointed, though may have found a mile too far. Nakakande was staying on strongly over 6f at Sligo and the assessor has given her a chance.
