Verdict

SEA MUSIC doesn't have an official mark so has to go off top weight though he was so impressive at Ballinrobe that he can concede the weight. The four-year-old Luminous Light was in very good form in the spring and followed a fine effort at Galway last month with a last-flight fall at Ballinrobe when still in touch. Ringdufferin has bumped into a couple of smart maiden winners while Howaya C D And E ran very well over fences last time having refused to race here the previous time. Cork winner Moon Rise Beauty can't have been right when beaten a distance at Bellewstown while none of the remainder can be dismissed in what looks a tight race.
