Verdict

It's difficult to get away from the chances of DRUMLISTER. Arthur Moore's charge has shown massive improvement in recent starts over fences scoring twice and being narrowly beaten in another. He can revert to hurdles on a 23lb lower mark and looks a handicap snip. High Talk won a C&D handicap from just 7lb lower last summer and also scored over fences here in May. He's a tough and genuine performer and his young rider's claim should help him into the frame. Namarama is still a maiden but was heavily supported at Cork when last seen in May. He was brought down at the third that day and has been given a break but is one to keep on the right side. Maduma was staying on over 2m4f at Wexford and along with Street Runner, a good third at Cork last time, can get into the action.
