Verdict
Nisior Donn has won twice over the course and distance and produced another good run when a close third at Gowran last week. SILK CRAVAT (NAP) was 5l behind Gavin Cromwell's charge here in February but has run well over 6f subsequently and has a big pull in the weights so gets the nod. Fivehundredmiles, a dual winner on Turf, is 0-13 on the all-weather but his last two runs on this track have been much better. He had Footsteps At Dawn a couple of lengths behind last time but Shane Nolan's charge was returning from a break and may be capable of reversing the form. Arcanecho makes a quick reappearance though was well beaten in a maiden here on Sunday and though A Likely Story, who won this last year, would have a very good chance on his best form though he's never won first-time-out.
