Verdict
WAVE MACHINE was always in touch over 6f at the Curragh and though outpaced in the closing stages did enough to suggest a race of this nature was within his capabilities. Montesilvano attracted support at Roscommon but found the testing ground against him and should do much better here. His stable companion Wartime Warrior is by Churchill and a half-brother to a winner in the USA while Quiz Test is a half-brother to four winners. Queen Maedbh has the experience of a Dundalk barrier trial behind her while Meggy Moo found the minimum trip too short in her first two starts and was staying on over 6f at Fairyhouse.
