Verdict
A large field with a handful to focus on. The Gradual Slope is much more experienced than most and connections will be keen to get a win out of the gelding after a consistent sequence of form over a variety of trips. He should be in the mix. SCENIC LOOK houses a similar profile and was last seen at the Curragh just four days ago when delivering a decent effort and looks to have been readied for this. However, the pair do have a couple of less experienced but potentially very interesting types to deal with. Call Me Now will be all the better for her Cork third on Rules debut and The Grey Monty impressed on his pointing debut and rates a very useful recruit.
