Verdict

Chess Grand Master has won a bumper and scored twice on the all-weather though hasn't fulfilled his potential so far. Spring Watch hasn't run since beating today's rival Dawn Raider at Roscommon last July but had beat a big field in a Punchestown handicap earlier. Suinda comfortably landed a 2m6f handicap here in October though is 10lb higher and his yard look to have a better chance with Poker D'Ainay, who made all over 2m4f at Wexford last month. Brogine completed a double when scoring over this trip at Limerick where she defied a last-flight error while the veteran Bye Bye O Bye is in tremendous form over this trip and can get close to defying a 7lb rise for his Limerick victory. GOODNIGHTNGODBLESS has been in good form, scoring easily over this trip at Roscommon before staying on over slightly shorter at Killarney, so she gets the nod in a very tricky handicap.
