        Verdict

        Love Nest, a winner at Brighton for John Dunlop, has steadily improved for Denis Hogan and ran a superb race behind Stuccodor at Leopardstown. He should be in the mix with Leigh Roche' claim a bonus but Moscow Treat may be hampered by the widest draw of all and faces a difficult task. MISTY LANE has gone up 9lb for a very convincing victory over the C&D on her reappearance in May but her trainer is a superb placer of his horses and will be confident of a follow-up. She's given the nod though there are plenty of dangers including Cool Athlete, who has won three times around here; Jouster, who is having his first start on the surface and arrives in very good heart after his victory at Yarmouth; and Dash Back, though the latter is better known for her exploits over shorter.
