Verdict

Off the mark at Leopardstown on his penultimate start, BATTLE OF MIRBAT ran at least as well in defeat behind another progressive sort at Limerick in March and, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he could well be the answer here. Pats Choice arrives in form and is feared, along with the returning Red Striker, who remains open to improvement in this sphere.
