    Verdict

    Son Of Rest is the form pick on his close second to Downforce in a Listed contest at Navan in April but all of his form is on testing ground. If the going eases he would have to be the pick but in these conditions the younger DALI may have his measure. Aidan O'Brien's colt won over the track and trip on fast going last summer and all of this season's efforts have also been on quick ground including when just failing to concede Blue Uluru 5lb in a tough handicap at the Curragh. True Blue Moon wasn't far behind in that latter event though looks held as does Brick By Brick but a line through the winner gives Snowstar a chance of reaching a place and she's won't mind the conditions.
