Verdict

Third Opinion defied a long absence to win at Clonmel in March, jumping well and making light work of his task. He's a danger here though decent ground might be some concern. Caolaneoin ran a superb race over C&D last month and merits respect on that evidence, though there are no assurances he'll repeat it so instead the vote is held by NEVERRUSHACON, who wasn't far behind then and appeals as a more reliable performer to repeat the trick. Handicap debutant Xsquared and Killiney Court are also considered.
