Verdict

Westcoastinformant improved for the step up to 3m when runner-up at Wexford and is preferred to stablemate Ask Philip. The latter gets a change of headgear and is weighted to beat Ask Charlie, who placed here on his penultimate start. REXEM encountered soft ground when third at Galway on his hurdling bow but had earlier landed a bumper on good going at this venue and John McConnell’s charge will appreciate this extra distance. Joshua Chamberlain may prove best of remainder.
