Verdict

Face The Music steps up in trip after a decent run over two miles at Down Royal where he attempted to take the sting out of the field before being headed and finding no extra two out. Bruach Na Mara's best form has been on ground with plenty of give while it was testing going when Pops Rocket produced a very good run behind Cheer Up at Thurles. Pops Rocket could easily improve again on better ground and looks a threat but this can go to GIFT OF DGAB. Tony Martin's charge was unfancied on his racecourse debut over the minimum trip at Fairyhouse a month ago but caught the eye with a staying-on fourth behind Benash and looks certain to improve in today's quicker conditions.
