Verdict
Wrecking Ball Paul made a very encouraging debut in a strong Navan maiden and there was something amiss when he was beaten a distance at Down Royal in March. Rock Ya Boy Ya has taken time to recover from a fall on his hurdles debut at Leopardstown but ran very well in a big field at Naas in March. Vocito disappointed at Tramore though may just have needed the run and like Victory Heights and Tammany Hall carries a penalty for victories on the Flat. The latter's yard can have the answer to this with IGRAINE, who was only headed close home at Cork a week ago despite a bad mistake three out.
