Verdict

KARRYGRANT has had a few chances but his latest Curragh third represented a step forward so Johnny Murtagh's charge gets the nod with first-time cheekpieces applied for his all-weather debut. Having been placed on all 6 outings, Krasimir is sure to be popular, but he may have to settle for silver, while Outlaw Man and Rock of Claremont can do battle for minor honours.

3	Has made the frame in all 5 starts in maidens, producing best effort to date when third of 13 at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) just over a fortnight ago. First-time cheekpieces the headgear of choice here and worth chancing to open his account on all-weather debut. 1st Pick 3 Karrygrant (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland	92	-	-	-	23%	7/2

5	Placed on all 6 starts, typically giving his running when third of 15 in maiden at Naas (1m, good) 18 days ago. Makes all-weather debut and holds obvious claims again with his usual tongue tie reapplied. 2nd Pick 5 Krasimir (Ire) Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: G. M. Lyons, Ireland J: C. T. Keane T: G. M.

7	Built on debut promise when a clear second of 14 in maiden over C&D in January. Left poorly placed when mid-field back here the following month (hooded) and well worth another chance returning from a 4-month break. Headgear discarded. 3rd Pick 7 Outlaw Man (Usa) Jockey: D. B.
