Verdict

Double Speak has improved with every run and was convincing at Killarney, as was Princely Conn when he put his experience to good use to score at the Festival here. Both are progressing nicely as is Sheamus, who found stepping up to 2m4f in his favour when scoring easily at Kilbeggan. Pack The Punch followed a victory over 2m4f at Roscommon by chasing home Windsor Park over 2m here last month so this trip should prove ideal but the one to beat has to be LYRICAL THEATRE. She started long odds-on when demolishing her rivals at Sligo last month and, though this is much tougher, she looks an exciting prospect for the Mullins team.
