Verdict

Papa's Way has won twice, both times on this track, and has ben racing credibly over longer trips subsequently. Wither Hills won over 2m here in March and followed up three months later over this trip at the Curragh. He's only 4lb higher and could run into a place at a fair price. Lonan ran his best race for a long time at Galway a couple of weeks ago and has a victory on this track to his credit. Teochrios continues to run well though she's been climbing the ratings without winning and Eye Of The Tiger is the interesting one in the race. He landed a huge gamble at Lingfield in January and was having his first subsequent start at Ffos Las last month when performing with credit from an incredible 20lb higher mark. WAVER won a 1m2f handicap here last October and though he's only had four subsequent starts on the Flat he arrives here on a 4lb lower mark. He's been in winning form over hurdles and looks well in here.
