In depth

Verdict

Waaheb has won six races in his career - all on ground with plenty of give including his last two on heavy going. This is his first start since August and he's likely to have Galway in his sights. UNREQUITED is race-fit and has been going well. Ger Lyons' charge went up 10lb for scoring on fast ground at Tipperary in April but has performed with credit from his new mark and can go in again. Space Ship completed a double over hurdles in May and will have found 1m1f much too short when reverting to the Flat at Gowran last month. Break My Mind looks held by the selection on their run at Cork but did much better when runner-up at Bellewstown subsequently.
