Verdict

Vasoni won this in 2013 and scored here again in May when the ground was testing. Any more rain and he could be given a shout despite a big weight. Cash Or Casualty is another who will enjoy the conditions having scored on heavy going at Cork in April and he's just 2lb higher. Acroleina has only won once in 19 starts and that was at Dundalk and she's only run once beyond 6f. The veteran ENIGMA CODE is now on his fifth trainer and hasn't won for almost two years but he's dropped to a winnable mark, as he showed when just beaten by Barbeque at Cork, and can get back on the winning trail.
