Verdict

Maple Mons and QUIET ACCOUNT look the two to focus on in this contest, with marginal preference for the latter. Both have come off worst in clashes with Foxrock this season, Maple Mons finishing 13L second to Ted Walsh's charge last weekend at Gowran Park. That form might be good enough for this but it is a quick turnaround and with jumping sometimes an issue, he is passed over. The selection scored a nice point-to-point success on the opening day of this month and is taken to follow up. Of the remainder Hasty Times, third in this race a year ago, looks best equipped to pick up scraps despite being off the track since April.
