Verdict
Koybig has won twice around here but is on a very long losing run as is Secret Wizard, another course and distance winner. Turbine is top-rated based on last summer's victory in a Leopardstown handicap though his yard is also represented by ATLAS, a veteran of these claimers whose young rider steered him into second in similar races at Tipperary and Limerick last month. He had Eastern Racer behind in the former of those events and should do so again but the three-year-old Camino Mission was in touch for a long way when tackling 1m2f at Fairyhouse a week ago.
