Swordsman has dropped to his lowest mark and has a promising claimer on board though needs to regain his form. STREET VALUE (NAP), who has won handicaps at Clonmel and on this track easily, has an 11lb rise to contend though the latest victory came in a conditionals' race where his rider couldn't claim so a hat-trick beckons. The USA-trainer Baltimore Bucko has done nothing wrong in his two recent runs though the ground is a concern and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Burlesque Queen, who looked to have a bit in hand when beating a big field at Leopardstown. Mon Lino reverted to hurdling with a cracking effort at Navan and has Simon Torrens' claim to aid his cause this time.
