      Verdict

      TEXAS ROCK was in superb form last season ending the campaign with a double at the Curragh. He's only had a couple of starts on this surface but looks the one to be on if ready after a break. Another Story is the dark horse of the race having been here twice and won both times though it's a concern that she hasn't run since May. Red Avenger completed a hat-trick over the track and trip after arriving from the UK but shot up the weights and has struggled so this conditions event looks a good option. Tribal Path was in superb form in the early part of last summer, completing a four-timer, and continued to run well in better company so he's no forlorn hope to make a successful return to action.
