Verdict
State Of Rest has a big weight here courtesy of his victory over 6f at Fairyhouse, though the placed horses have both been well beaten subsequently. ELYSIUM battled on under pressure to lead close home over an extended 5f at Navan and is certain to be suited by the extra so gets the nod. Ebeko was beaten a long way into second by the impressive Cadillac over this track and trip and the winner's yard is represented by You Owe Me Money, who couldn't go the pace over 6f on fast going at Fairyhouse. Kauri Cliffs is by Gleneagles out of a mare who won as a two-year-old while Stitch Pickings is a full sister to two winners.
