In depth

Verdict

The superbly bred Flavia Tatiana took an age to lose her maiden tag but did so over this C&D last week from a very favourable mark. She's been raised an incredible 11lb for that and though still likely to produce a big run may not be up to preventing ACUSHLADEAR from landing a hat-trick. Patrick Tallis' mare is another with a massive rise to overcome but it's difficult to argue with the assessor here as she was a very easy winner over the C&D last time. Tarrsille has been in very good form on the surface and it will be a surprise if he isn't concerned in the finish but Dusty Trail has yet to prove himself on Polytrack and was beaten a long way over hurdles at Naas last month after his victory on soft ground at Roscommon. The consistent Six Silver Lane looks best of the remainder.
