Verdict

BORU BOY is the only one of these to have won over the trip, which he did at Cork in January. He found 2m5f too short at Limerick on his handicap debut last month and can return to winning ways. Rise Of An Empire has won three times over timber and though none have been over a trip this far he shouldn't have problems staying on this relatively sharp track. Tellthemnuttin has plenty of experience and been running well in handicaps, including when scoring over 2m4f here in October, though she hasn't run since the following month. Perfect Man's hat-trick attempt never looked likely to materialise at Navan last week while Vinnie Luck is likely to do better back over fences.
