Verdict
Many of these have been racing over hurdles including the top weight Kuraka, a maiden winner at Limerick last month, his only career victory to date. Nelson Road is another with just one career victory to his credit though he almost doubled his tally at Killarney and would have a chance on that form providing the ground doesn't get too lively. Archer's Up has moved stables after easily landing a Dundalk claimer though this is much tougher while Getgo has never raced over a trip this far. Universal Focus has been in good form at Dundalk and looks certain to go well but this can go to PRINCE GARYANTLE (NAP). A winner over hurdles at the Punchestown festival, he's now on a mark of 133 over timber so arriving here on a Flat rating of 46 with a 7lb claimer on board can enable him to take this prize.
