Verdict

Tylery Wonder won this last year and in 2016 when run at the Curragh. He's won just once subsequently but is 3lb lower than a year ago and isn't without a chance. Paul Midgley also runs Line Of Reason, who has been running well without winning and is possibly a few pounds high. Yorkshire yards are also represented by Only Spoofing, who looked to have a bit in hand when beating Amanaat and Dali at Navan three weeks ago and can confirm the form. BLAIRMAYNE (NAP) shot up the weights after scoring over the course and distance in May. That was his last start over the minimum trip but he's been running really well in tough handicaps over an extra furlong and the assessor has given him a winning opportunity. Dali looks best of the rest.
