Verdict
BAR ROOM BORE is the top-rated here and with his stable in unstoppable form he gets the vote despite a baffling performance at Roscommon last time where he finished tailed off last. His head defeat at Cork in April would be good enough and he receives 5lb from Nobel Joshua, who looks the best alternative as he's been running quite well in handicaps. But I Like It wasn't beaten far in a similar race at Ballinrobe last time though that was on testing ground so some rain would aid his cause. Secret Secret has a big weight but has shown glimpses of ability and may do best of the remainder.
