        Verdict

        HEIRLOOM wasn't far behind his very useful stablemate Venus De Milo at Fairyhouse before scoring easily at Dundalk. He didn't stay 1m6f on testing ground at Leopardstown and can return to winning ways here. Feile Na Mban is a big danger as she also ran well behind Venus De Milo on her debut before a very easy victory on soft ground at Leopardstown. There's more to come from her but Encrypted Message is more exposed and couldn't quite peg back Manalapan over the course and distance last time. Cloud Monkey has been racing over trips too short but looks well enough treated to make his presence felt.
