Verdict

Day Dreamin' has been going close but is still a maiden and has been beaten seven times off lower marks. Mk Drama has had a dozen starts without winning but returned from a break to finish a close fourth at Dundalk while Legal Thriller would have a chance on her two runs last month but she was very disappointing in soft ground at Thurles. SILK CRAVAT (NAP) has only won on artificial surfaces which is why he's 10lb lower on Turf. He wouldn't want any more rain but was only beaten a head the last time he ran on this surface and can finally get off the mark. Knock Flyer's close fourth at Navan was his best run since his debut last year and he's dropped to a winnable mark.
