Verdict

Second Subaltern is well exposed having had nine starts without winning but SILVER BREEZE, beaten a short-head at Punchestown, wasn't disgraced in Listed company next time and looks the one to beat. Pat Flynn's horses have been in good form so the lack of a recent runs shouldn't be a problem for Soldier Solid while Derek O'Connor's presence will ensure Telecon gets noticed. Gandy Man went lame when last seen at Navan in March last year after a fine debut over timber at Cork.
