Verdict

Wins Now scored on the Flat at Naas last month though it was only a sweepstakes event and he had little to beat. He hasn't been the most consistent of performers over fences but this won't take much winning. The veteran Hold The Pin was a long way behind in that Naas event but was making his reappearance after an absence since May and he'd been in very good form over fences in the spring. FLORIDA EXPRESS competed at a much higher level than this between 2008 and last year and landed a Listed race on heavy ground at Cork last April. He's remarkably well handicapped at his best and a chance is taken that he'll be fit enough. Conem looks the best alternative after three recent runs over hurdles as he's better over fences having scored over 2m4f here in May.
