Verdict

Captain Carleton is best over further and has a huge weight though Ross Coakley's claim can enable him to get competitive as he's a very versatile performer. Dew Line showed her first sign of ability here last week and it wouldn't take much more for her to get involved while Greanta is slowly dropping to a mark she can win from. Mozetta's only victory has come at Dundalk but she's run well on ground with a bit of give at around this trip and has to be a threat to all. Tapering's Navan victory came in a claimer on fast going but trip and ground look ideal for PULLMAN BROWN (NAP). David Marnane's charge scored at Tipperary in April and has gone close on a couple of subsequent occasions so this should prove within his capabilities.
