Verdict

Talk Now is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though it's two years since he won here he completed a double last summer when trained in the UK. Plunkett ran his best race to date at Cork last month and has been dropped 2lb while Musalsal appears to have been finding a mile just beyond him in recent starts. Dark Kris started favourite over a mile at Killarney but never got involved in the race won by Angel's Trumpet, who finally got off the mark. The winner is up 7lb and may have to give best to IS THAT LOVE, who can complete a hat-trick. Ado McGuinness' charge was a convincing winner of a Fairyhouse handicap on Friday and a 6lb penalty can be overcome.
