Verdict

Galway Legend won this a year ago, his only success in 46 starts over fences. He's now on a 5lb lower mark so shouldn't be dismissed though he finished a long way behind ONE FINE MORNING at Killarney last month and Ronnie O'Leary's charge, who has been handed a 9lb rise for that smooth success, looks capable of following up. Shernaz is a real staying type on a fair mark but needs a thorough test and the ground may just be too quick unless there is further rain. The veteran Ballito hasn't been in the best of form but has dropped to a very tempting mark as a consequence.
