Verdict
Mooltazem, who carries a penalty for three Flat victories, looked a likely future winner when a close fourth at Tramore but was struggling when refusing at Clonmel. Pakens Rock carries extra for a bumper victory and has disappointed when favourite for his last two starts over timber though over much longer trips. FUTURE PROOF has run four times over timber and finished second in them all. He hasn't run since April but a narrow defeat by Band Of Outlaws at Limerick earlier would be good enough for this.
