Verdict

Tony Martin has won two of the last three and has four engaged here. Moonmeister, who was sixth a year ago, may prove the best of them after scoring at Cork, with last year's fifth Le Vagabond not far behind, before down the field in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock. Song Of Namibia is improving with racing and stays further as he showed at Bellewstown so the soft ground will be in his favour though WHISKEY SOUR (NAP) will take the world of beating after his impressive victory here on Monday, only his second start for Willie Mullins after scoring over hurdles at Tramore. He has a 7lb penalty to contend with but has been put up 12lb so looks well in here. Haripour looks the main threat as he looked a smart staying prospect when landing a Navan maiden and was by no means disgraced behind Stradivarius in the Queen's Vase.
