Verdict

HELPMEOUT won twice over the track and trip last summer and made a very promising reappearance at the Curragh. She's only 2lb higher than her last success and can go in again. Jaafel, who finished just in front at the Curragh, had a race-fitness advantage and the positions can be reversed. Chavajod was having his first start for new connections when gaining a surprise victory over this course and distance last month though an 11lb rise makes this tougher and runner-up Fastman has a chance to reverse the form on the revised terms. Colin Keane takes over on Dagoda, who was staying on strongly when beaten a neck in a huge field over Cork's straight 7f last month.
