In depth

Verdict

Powersbomb scored over 2m4f on good ground at Galway in July but won't have those conditions here while course and distance winner Definite Earl has also done better on quicker going. Sea's Aria is another who may find the ground against him, though he's fit from the Flat, but Get Out Of Jail easily landed a Gowran maiden in March and had a spin on the level last week. ICE COOL has won three times from two to three miles since December, all on heavy going. He has to concede weight all round here but should be up to the task. Admiral Brian looks the main threat as he was conceding a stone when just failing to catch All The Chimneys at Navan.
