      Verdict

      Mullins Way is interesting on his return to action for a new trainer as he showed plenty of promise in three starts last year. However, the handicapper has taken no chances with his current mark and he has a bit to prove. Maiden winners Stansonnit and Royal Hush have both struggled in handicaps, while Abidhabidubai has the help of a 7lb claimer having failed to get his head in front recently despite being strongly fancied. FILE AND PAINT scored at Navan for Jim Bolger in May and went close on good to soft ground over C&D on her debut for new connections. She gets the vote to go one better here back on a fast surface.
