      Verdict

      Astrum is suited by shorter trips on better ground so this is probably best left to MULLAGHBOY (NAP). He’s only gone up 3lb for beating better-fancied rivals in an amateurs’ race over 2m here last month and there is plenty of scope for further improvement. Jockey bookings would suggest Mamoo is preferred to stablemate Elysian Prince while Lightentertainment can’t get much lower in the weights, though looks a shadow of his former self.
