Verdict

NAB WOOD created a favourable impression when scoring twice over C&D earlier in the year, and although he'd ideally benefit from more juice in the ground, he is still the one who appeals most for a yard whose horses are in flying form. There are plenty of others with chances, including fellow C&D winner Young Jack,who could be dangerous if getting his own way in front, and Guernsey who ran his best race in a while when third 18 days ago. Ballytechno gets an honourable mention now upped in trip.
