In depth

Verdict

MOGWLI has been in fine form since tackling testing ground. Though raised 8lb for finishing second at the Curragh, his rider claims an extra 3lb so he can go one better. Comfort Line is held on that run but Wrist Art won so convincingly at Thurles that even a massive 12lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. Excuzio Joe will love the conditions but has been off for over a year while Rhythm King is still 7lb higher than when scoring at Bellewstown earlier in the year.
