Verdict

Raptor started favourite for a Grade A handicap here last month and ran well enough to finish a close fourth behind Foildubh with Osana well beaten. He's only won once in seven starts over fences and remains on a fair mark. LAST TIME D'ALBAIN had Senior Again 17l back in third when narrowly beaten by Lucky William in a tough handicap at Fairyhouse and should have no problems confirming the form. The winner has since gone on to land the Ryanair at the Festival here so Liam Cusack's charge looks the one to be on despite an 8lb rise in the weights. Uncle Tom Cobley has been running well without quite getting there and there's little between him and Senior Again on their run at Leopardstown in January while The Sneezer is a lot better than he showed at Fairyhouse a month ago.
