Verdict

Daigreen has been doing better on the Flat than over hurdles and makes a quick reappearance after a good run at Gowran on Sunday. He's not the most consistent but his best form should see him go close. The four-year-old Beautiful Ben jumped poorly at Roscommon last time but warmed to his task later and would prove a threat if the experience has done him good. OSCAR VESPASIAN ran very well when a close fourth in a tougher handicap than this at Listowel on Friday and can run off the same mark here so John Queally's charge looks the one to be on. Lindas Choice ran easily her best race to date when a very close third to Pleased As Punch at Listowel last week and would be an obvious threat if staging a repeat.
