Verdict

Holiday In Kerry is the only course winner here having won a division of this a year ago in heavy ground. He ran well at Clonmel last time and is on the shortlist though finished behind Atlantian, whose previous second to Wa Wa at Navan was boosted when the winner completed a double, in the latter event. Rochestown was receiving 4lb when beating Chelseas Friend a head at Punchestown but the revised weights favour the runner-up with her rider's claim taken into account. STOLEN MOMENT found the 2m4f too short in the latter race and was always travelling strongly when scoring over three miles at Clonmel ten days ago so gets the vote.
