Verdict

The three-year-old MILWAUKEE is still in the Irish Derby so would be expected to win this doing handstands to justify the entry. He still looked green at Tipperary when hanging in the straight and a mark of 78 may be underestimating him. Winning hurdler War Correspondent has yet to score on the level but hasn't done much wrong the last twice and Adam Caffrey's claim is a plus. Scott Lang went well on heavy ground at Navan in April so more rain would aid his cause as it would for En Or, three times a winner on soft in France.
