Verdict

PRALOGNAN is fancied to return to form back on the synthetic surface where he's previously excelled, having finished third behind Voice of Reason over 12f here last month. That rival brings strong credentials after back-to-back Dundalk wins and should handle this step up in trip, while Boxing Great can remain competitive if as effective without headgear.
