Verdict

Handicap debutant SEA EAGLE gets the nod in a tricky event. Hamsiyann often comes good at this time of year, and he's feared most on return, while Belle The Tigress could have a say if ready to roll on the back of an absence.

2	Useful on the Flat. Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Downpatrick/Wexford (also producing fairly useful effort when unseating at Tramore in spring). Did all he could behind a trio of bumper winners at Perth (2m) last time. Makes handicap debut and looks well treated on the pick of his form. 1st Pick 2 Sea Eagle Jockey: T. E. O'connor Trainer: G.

1	Back to his smooth-travelling best when runner-up at Newcastle in November last year. Out of sorts in both codes over the spring and has dropped to a handy mark as a result. No surprise to see him capitalise given his record fresh (latest win this time 2 years ago came off a similar break). 2nd Pick 1 Hamsiyann (Ire) Jockey: D. King Trainer: A. J. Martin, Ireland J: D.

3	Off the mark on return at Clonmel prior to splitting a couple of next-time-out winners at Punchestown last June. Off since beaten 6 lengths (jumped indifferently) in handicap at Galway festival the following month. On a reasonable mark and has to be respected if fit/well off a 15-month absence. 3rd Pick 3 Belle The Tigress (Ire) Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland J: D. J.
