Verdict

Curl Cat won a claimer at Clonmel last week and his form at Dundalk entitles him to the utmost respect here. He won't be far away but LIVALEO will have needed his reappearance at the Curragh and his form last season was far superior to any of today's rivals. With a leading amateur booked, Joanna Morgan's gelding can get his head back in front today. Phoebe Van Gelder won at the Curragh in the spring but has shown very little since so Charger may be more interesting having won over hurdles at Downpatrick last month.
