Verdict

Carrig Rock was in good form on heavy ground in the spring and will have come on for last month's reappearance at Punchestown. Fortune Street has run well over the trip and likes testing going while Priory Park overcame a barging match with the runner-up to land a Thurles handicap though an 8lb rise makes this tougher. The four-year-old Silvertown is 0-21 but should be winning soon judging by his narrow defeat at Fairyhouse while The Dasher Conway, a very easy maiden winner on heavy ground at Tipperary in May, ran very well on good going at Navan last month though has never raced beyond the minimum. MYLESTOWN UPPER ran in two bumpers in the spring before landing a Kilbeggan maiden on his hurdling debut in April. There should be much more to come and an opening mark of 107 can be exploited. Reserves Breezy Bell and Whenurgoodurgood would need to be considered if getting a run while course winner Someday was engaged in the 3.15 at Limerick yesterday.
