      Verdict

      Winning bumper Ted Veale finished runner-up over 1m3f at Killarney but this may prove just a little too short for him. Brassbound has to be a threat after two promising runs, especially over this trip at Leopardstown last time where he stayed on strongly behind Something Graceful. Silk Kimono will need major improvement, however, so this should go to MONT BLANC who has progressed with each run and was only caught in the closing stages over 1m4f at Galway last time - he should lead these a merry dance.
