Verdict

Capture The Drama has won his share but hasn't been going well and would prefer softer ground. Like Commandant, he's won over the course and distance but Joseph O'Brien's charge arrives in better form having won here last month. He didn't get going at Tipperary later and can do better but Perfect Leader is 1-30 though he's only 4lb higher than his victory at Leopardstown in March. BARNA VENTURE hasn't run well the last twice but would be difficult to beat on his victory at Leopardstown on New Year's Eve so hopefully can return to that sort of form.
