      Verdict

      SCANDAL SHEET was having only his second start since October when an excellent runner-up to Sea Lord in a big field at the Curragh last month and looks ready to double his winning tally with just a 2lbs rise. All About Timing doesn't win often but returned to form at Ballinrobe though is now on a career-high mark. Kaitlins Joy is a real credit to connections and was gaining her sixth victory in 26 starts at Tipperary last time. She had been in good form in tough handicaps earlier and looks certain to give another good account. Big Robert beat a huge field at the Curragh in March and has been competing at a higher level subsequently though he would probably be suited by some rain. Cape Vintage is 8lbs higher than when scoring at Gowran last September and has a long absence to overcome.
