      Verdict

      Fromajacktoaking was a bit disappointing behind Einstein's Folly in a similar race at Gowran on Tuesday but the remaining quintet are all winners. Blue Bullet made a winning debut in heavy ground at Cork but hasn't done quite as well as expected since and was last of three behind Lightnin Hopkins at Naas last time. Designs On Rome looked ideally suited by this trip and soft ground when scoring convincingly at Naas and there's more to come as there is from Sugar Boy, who has gradually improved though his victory at Galway was over a mile. CHIPS ARE DOWN loves testing going as he showed when beating subsequent winner Randall's Alannah at Sligo and his 5lb rise is negated by Conor Hiban's claim. He easily holds the consistent Versilia Gal on recent form and looks the one to be on here.
