      Verdict

      ROYAL REVEILLE wouldn't want the ground to turn too soft but won with such authority at Navan last time that he must get the vote to follow up. Resolute Bay is another best on good ground as he showed at Sligo last time but the four-year-old Acapulco Gold wouldn't mind more rain as it was on the soft side when he gained the second of his two victories at Ballinrobe in August. Shabra Charity has only won once in 19 starts over hurdles and found Grade 3 company beyond her at Tipperary a week ago but Rheinland isn't entirely out of this though further improvement is needed.
