Verdict

Ally Cay scored here a year ago and raced consistently later but is 11lb higher. Loingseoir was very impressive at Fairyhouse on Friday and will be hit with a much bigger rise than the penalty he carries here. However, that was over 1m2f and he's yet to convince over this longer trip. ILLUSORY had been gradually getting her act together before landing a Dundalk maiden in January. She's the type to continue on the upgrade and looks on a very fair mark. Alvaro showed plenty of ability in the UK and starts out for new connections though Harvest Bow looks a bigger threat after a cracking effort in a huge field at Leopardstown.
