Verdict

Laughifyouwant won this a year ago from 12lb lower and continued in excellent form with placed efforts in Listed company. He should be thereabouts again despite a long break. Laugh A Minute wasn't beaten far in a similar race at the Curragh and can get into contention but NJORD can gain compensation for his nose defeat in a similar race over a mile here on Tuesday where he looked a certain winner until mugged on the line by last year's winner Saltonstall. Big Baby Blue was in the lead at this trip in that race so has to be considered as he'd won a similar race to this at the Curragh earlier. Bellewstown winner Lord Rapscallion didn't run as well from 6lb higher at Cork but the progressive Mr Wendell gets in here on a handy weight and could shake up the older horses.
