Verdict

CABERNET SAUVIGNON hasn't shown much on the level but has been in superb form recently over timber and a mark of 63 suggests he is underrated in this sphere. There's no doubt he has improved greatly and Gordon Elliott is the right man to exploit this handicap mark. Denny Crane looks a real threat as Edward Lynam's lightly-raced gelding is progressing fast and showed real battling qualities to catch Breezed Well on the line here last time. Strandfield Lady started favourite at Sligo last week and though running well she was caught close home and is 3lbs higher. Holly Hill produced her best run for a very long time at Leopardstown a month ago and a similar effort would see her involved while Phantasy Rock was noted staying on over a mile at Bellewstown last week, her first start since December.
