Verdict
Recent easy Fairyhouse winner Eadbhard looked to have a chance in the 5.20 here yesterday in which Camlann was also engaged. Linger easily won over hurdles here on Monday when well supported and has an obvious chance though he was beaten almost five lengths by Eight And Bob at Tipperary earlier. Willie Mullins' charge couldn't handle UPGRADED here on Wednesday and Tony Martin's charge can defy a 6lb penalty and go in again. Macquarie has only had four starts and makes his handicap debut while Dinard Rose couldn't overcome a 9lb rise on her hat-trick bid at Leopardstown. Sbraase just failed to handle the prolific Lever Du Soleil at Ayr but has gone up 7lb.
