Verdict

A chance is taken on EARLS, who was beaten just over a length when fourth to a bang in-form rival at Galway at the beginning of the month and is now 1 lb lower in the weights. Miss Molly T has to enter calculations, but Comfort Line returned to form when hitting the crossbar at the Curragh recently and he is feared most. Dixie Bluebell is also shortlisted.
