Verdict

Total Demolition won a couple of times on Polytrack in the UK and gained his first success for new connections on fast ground at Leopardstown last week. He's up 5lb but it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. INTENSE STYLIST showed potential in her first season and returned with a fine effort at Tipperary when runner-up to End Play. She's the type to do better and a mark of 68 can be exploited. Ecoeye scored on heavy going last May and his two runs this term have both been in testing conditions so it remains to be seen how he handles this ground. Daredevil Day stepped up to 1m3f at Killarney last time and ran well behind Le Vagabond so should be winning soon.
