      Verdict

      Jarlath ran well around here a couple of times at the start of the year but today’s conditions may be too quick. NEVER LEARN (NAP) won over a longer trip here in the spring but still looks well handicapped and the booking of the champion suggests a follow-up is expected. Howlongisafoot is capable but has run here seven times and has yet to record a victory. Redmond is only 4lb higher than when scoring on heavy going over course and distance in February so is respected.
