Verdict

Spot The Pro has improved with every run and could hardly have won a Cork maiden any easier in April. He'll love the ground but this is a tough ask for a four-year-old. Muzak has been alternating between hurdles and fences and running well in both. He's had a short break after his exploits in testing ground in May and should arrive here fresh and raring to go. Abolitionist gained his first success at Sligo last month and hasn't been hit too hard in the weights but his recent runs have been on much quicker ground. GREEN THIRTY TWO had been running well before gaining a very impressive success at Ballinrobe and, though 9lb higher, can complete the double.
