Verdict

Willyouwalkwithme was beaten a neck in this last year but is now 13lb higher after gaining his third course success in October. Mister Twist has yet to win but found three miles too far at Tipperary after a couple of narrow defeats at this trip. Set Point was staying on over the minimum at Kilbeggan, his best run to date, but I DON'T GET IT arrives in top form having scored here and at Down Royal and can defy a 7lb rise.
