Verdict

Luckyinmilan has thrived on heavy going recently and gained his second victory in the conditions at Punchestown last month. He's been raised 10lb and has to concede 12lb, including Donagh Meyler's claim, to DR WALUIGI (NAP) and that looks beyond him. Eoin Doyle's charge came in for very strong support at Navan last month and looked the likely winner for most of the way but got run out of it by Admiral Brian. Compensation awaits here. Papa's Way has run reasonably well on his last two starts and won't mind the conditions while Overbury Prince returned after a very long absence to perform with credit between the flags in January and he's one to keep an eye on. Just Likeold Times ran his best race so far over timber at Naas a month ago and should have some improvement in him.
