Verdict

RISING DUST hasn't looked back since joining Emmet Mullins and is weighted to garner a fifth victory in his last six starts despite being hiked up 15 lb for his most recent impressive success here. Cork runner-up Battle of Mirbat appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Lisleigh Lad, A Wave of The Sea and Brave Fortune.
