Verdict
Bigz Belief has won over the course and distance and arrives in winning form having scored over timber at Sligo last week. John Murphy has booked Conor Stone-Walsh for the maiden Chatterbox though looks to have a better chance with FOND FAREWELL (NAP), up just 3lb for a course and distance victory in April. The latter gets the vote and he holds Chilean on that run here. Celtic Revival's three victories have all been on the all-weather while Notturno has never won. Winning hurdler Tory Reel showed his first sign of ability on the Flat at Gowran though could find this on the short side.
