Verdict

This looks very competitive but a chance is taken with CISCO DISCO on his debut against older horses. The only course and distance winner in the line-up, he ran well in two starts at the Galway Festival and is probably still progressing despite having had plenty of experience. Comfort Line was attempting to give the winner 16lb at the Curragh on Saturday while further rain would be a bonus for Starting Monday, who beat a big field in testing ground at the Curragh in March. Earls is another who ran twice at Galway, staying on nicely the second time and dropped 1lb in the ratings.
