Verdict

Comfort Line, a course and distance winner, ran a superb race to finish second in the Lincoln at the Curragh and was impeded at the start at Cork last week. But BUSINESS has completed a hat-trick at Dundalk over 7f and can return to Turf just 1lb higher than a comfortable victory in February. With Mikey Sheehy's claim to help, he's taken to go in again. Spanish Tenor is up 8lb for a comfortable victory at Naas but he's won here in the past while the lightly-raced My Holy Fox completed a summer double at the Curragh and Punchestown and should have more to offer this campaign. Morph Speed, four-times a winner last summer, may find this on the short side.
