Verdict

Tribal Path has a mountain to climb under the race conditions but the remaining quartet can be given chances. Gentry was outpaced over 1m4f on yielding ground at the Curragh so may find this going a bit lively but it won't bother Hes Our Music though he's only won three races in his career, all on Polytrack. Jim Bolger brings out Teoirim again quickly after a fair run in a Naas handicap on Wednesday and he'll love the going but the concession of 7lb to the progressive three-year-old ANGEL OF JOY may prove beyond him and Ger Lyons' grey looked likely to be even better suited by a longer trip when making all for a comfortable victory at Gowran earlier this month.
