Verdict
Providing the ground doesn't become testing PAIRC NA NGAEL can carry on where he left off in the autumn. A victory over 3m1f here was followed by an easier success over 2m4f at Gowran and his trainer has no problems getting one ready. Dual hurdles winner Clifton Warrior has run two cracking races over fences this spring and a mark of 126 doesn't look excessive while Fairyhouse winner The Tack Room was biting off more than he could chew in the Leinster National at Naas. Arctic Ambition was left clear at the last over the track and trip last month but probably would have won anyway though he'll be 10lb higher with jockey claim taken into consideration.
