      Verdict

      Danny Sheehy rode the winner last year for Johnny Murtagh and they team up again with Sixpack, who has only had four runs and should be capable of better. WOODCOCK FLIGHT had some decent juvenile form and returned to action with a fair effort in a Tipperary maiden. He's stepping up in trip and should be suited so gets the nod. Semantics lost two places close home when tackling 1m2f at Navan a week ago so has to be a threat but Evening's Empire hasn't made the expected progress from last season's Galway maiden victory.
