Verdict
Horendus Hulabaloo bids for a three-timer after victories at Tipperary and Listowel but is upped in trip off a higher mark on faster going. Roscommon winner Cape Glory tries 3m for the first time but there are no stamina doubts surrounding Voisey's Bay and Thomas Foley's charge will strip fitter for his third at Tipperary. DUCKWEED (NAP) won over 3m at Kilbeggan and found a shorter trip against him at the same track next time when second to Daisy's Gift. He can bounce back here, though the versatile Jarob is also worth a second look and Roscommon runner-up From Frost won't be far away if lasting home. Phantom Prince won at Ballinrobe last month but didn't appear to stay 3m at Leopardstown back in January.
