Verdict
HARRY'S BAR (NAP) won this a year ago, one of seven course victories amongst his 14 all-weather successes. He's won from higher marks and has been given a chance by the assessor. Dandyville completed a double here in November and his three runs this year have been on Turf, producing an excellent performance at the Curragh last month. He looks an obvious threat as does Queen Maedbh, who won a barrier trial and a maiden here and has been in good form on Turf. Tai Sing Yeh is a four-times track winner who has been in cracking form on ground with plenty of give, scoring at Naas three weeks ago where Saturday's Curragh runner-up Livingston Range was well beaten.
