      Verdict

      Fujimoto Flyer has been inconsistent but don't be surprised by a big run with Colin Keane on board. Hereia has only run on Polytrack and heavy going so it remains to be seen how he handles this surface but Millswyn was staying on over 1m2f at Roscommon and should go well again. Finding Nero looked to be travelling well on his hat-trick bid at Naas but the 8lb rise for his previous victory kicked in and he's up another 4lb here. Defining Battle takes a big step-up in trip after making all in a Listowel maiden over a mile so the vote goes to ELITE TROOPER GREY, who just failed to contain Trossachs at Limerick and the winner has gone up to complete a hat-trick.
