Verdict

Conflated has won over fences here and also a Grade 3 at Naas while Paloma Blue has generally performed in top company since scoring at Wexford last August. Winter Escape has a very good strike-rate and is 2lb lower than his last victory while Soldier At War looked one to follow when scoring at Kilbeggan last October and has only had two subsequent runs. WA WA has progressed at a rate of knots since changing stables and sauntered home at Naas to complete a double. He's been hit with a 12lb rise but a hat-trick looks on the cards.
