Verdict

REALISM caught the eye when an improved fifth on his Down Royal reappearance 10 days ago and can build on that promise now, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Listentillitellyea could pose the chief threat if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Ballinrobe second. Tomas O Maille and Makfils are others to consider, while Kitsilano is a possible improver in handicaps.
