Verdict

Oor Jock gained his first success since 2010 over 6f at Naas last week then followed up over an extra furlong at Tipperary. Not surprisingly he's up in the weights again but can't be ruled out now in such cracking form. Lake George went up 5lb for his victory at Naas and though starting favourite for a better race at the Curragh couldn't quite complete the double. The lightly raced Our Max has been racing over further and may not have the pace for this while Relentless Pursuit appears better on Polytrack. FOCAS MOR was just beaten by Tom Dooley over this trip at Gowran then went to Fairyhouse and struggled over an extra 3f. This looks her optimum distance and she can gain her first success.
