Verdict
Campbonnais improved dramatically on fast ground at Clonmel last time but an 8lbs rise for beating Macra Na Feirme may just prove enough to halt his progress. Maid Of Malabar is in good form and scored over fences at Cork last month. She's by no means badly treated over hurdles and can go close. MOVING ON has won only twice from 58 career starts but has undoubtedly dropped to a fair mark as he showed when third behind Vino Vino Cavo at Limerick and can gain victory number three. Doctor Scott and Muzak are both capable of winning in this grade but return after long absences.
