Verdict
Silverkode completed a hat-trick of victories at the Curragh last summer but hasn't really recovered from a massive rise in the weights though has gone well from this sort of mark on his last two starts. DREAM OF WORDS was mugged on the line by the in-form Innamorare over a mile here last week so looks the one to be on though Mr Ormsby has been going well under an apprentice without winning and Robbie Colgan takes over. Betsey Trotter is held by the latter on recent Cork form and Omran needed every yard of the mile he won over at Naas last time.
