Verdict
Paddys Planet has won between the flags so the fact that he’s been able to score twice over 2m3f over hurdles is to his credit. Jack Foley rides, as he did at Naas earlier this month. LORD LARIAT (NAP) is in superb form over fences, completing a double here and at Punchestown. He can revert to hurdles on a 28lb lower mark so has to be the one to beat. Golden Cosmos very nearly lost his maiden tag when stepped up to this trip at Limerick and there should be more to come. He easily holds Young Dev on that run while Western Zara is a progressive mare who should be suited by stepping up to this more suitable distance.
