Verdict
This probably revolves around the C&D event last month won by Mcswynes Bay from Garamor Boy and RANDOON HILL. The winner appeared to idle in front and should have no problems with the runner-up at the revised weights but Noel Meade's charge was having his first start since November and with that under his belt he can gain revenge on the front pair. Uncommited has run 16 times over timber without winning and is hardly likely to improve at his age though he was having his first start since March when runner-up at Perth late last month. Winning point-to-pointer The Dude Abides looked certain to be suited by further when staying on over 2m4f at Killarney last month and is not out of this despite his big weight. Ameno hasn't shown much but was due to run in the 6.25 at Wexford last night.
