Verdict
Denise Foster has two entries and those who supported Banada Bridge into favourite at Gowran won't want any more rain as conditions were heavy that day. Robindevidastar ran poorly in a slightly better race at Cork though his previous second over this track and trip would put him in the picture but CARBON KING was impressive when landing a gamble at Naas. Declan Queally's charge tackles a longer trip and is 10lb higher but won convincingly and can give the weight away. Happy Dreams completed a double over fences before beaten on testing ground at Clonmel and reverts to hurdles on a 16lb lower mark.
