      Verdict

      Muraabit came good at Navan three weeks ago with Lake Champlain a couple of lengths back in fourth and re-opposing on better terms. The former has been raised 7lb for that success while SELSKAR ABBEY carries a 5lb penalty for his victory at Leopardstown with Romantic back in fifth. Jim Bolger's colt may just edge this and gets the nod with the veteran Deputy Consort hard to fancy back on the Flat.
