Verdict
MISSISSIPPI RIVER is consistent and appeals as the most solid selection with all his rivals arriving with something to prove for one reason or another. The Liffey has disappointed the last twice but should make much more of an impact back in calmer waters.

VerdictWon a conditions race at this course in April and has run well twice in similar company since, finishing second at both Fairyhouse and Naas. Ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces when last of 15 in a handicap at Galway (25/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces now removed and should be more competitive returning to conditions company.- 2.

VerdictPromising third on debut at Curragh before winning a maiden of 11 at Limerick (5/2) over this distance 50 days ago, making good use of the rail from the front. Stepping up in class here having shown fairly useful form.
