In depth

Verdict

BAROQUE STYLE (NAP) was having his first run since March of last year when an excellent third at Punchestown on Wednesday. He looked the most likely winner over that 2m4f until tiring close home and, if none the worse, should take this from the same mark. Urban Dusk is up 6lb for a battling victory at Downpatrick but it will be a surprise if she's not there at the finish while Most Honourable will enjoy the ground better than most and can get into contention. Carlyan is inconsistent but connections will be hoping first-time blinkers can help her gain her first-ever victory.
