Verdict
Valours Minion, Baby Whizz and Old Supporter occupied the first three places over 2m5f at Killarney last month and the front pair have since won over similar trips at Galway. The latter comes out best at the weights this time though it should again be very close between the trio. Tisamystery was beaten a long way when runner-up to Silver Tassie at Kilbeggan and has been done no favours in the ratings but Baily Dusk returned to form when just failing to catch Back Off Mate at Ballinrobe. The veteran KILMURRY KID was always in the front rank before quickly asserting and winning easily over 2m3f at Wexford so the drop in trip shouldn't be a problem. He's been raised 9lb but is still on a lowly mark and can go in again.
