Verdict

Templar Knight returns after a very long absence and this is a new trip while Father Shine is plenty high enough after one placed effort over timber in nine starts. Wango has an even more moderate strike-rate as his only placed run in ten efforts was over the C&D last month and Baby Be Mine is another looking high in the weights on what he's shown to date. Sir Ejay loves it around here and would have no problems making his presence felt in the unlikely event of fast ground but it's NUGGETS OF WISDOM who gets the nod as she has improved dramatically since getting a test of stamina and still looks on a reasonable mark. Utrillo's Art is another who has done better the further she goes but could have done without the 4lb rise for last week's second place at Fairyhouse.
