Verdict

This looks a moderate maiden and KNOCKNACREE looks the safest option after a decent effort when sent to Perth. Mr Globalist has shown some ability and has changed yards while Boots And Jeans had a spin in a Naas bumper in January and his dam is from the family of Kalanisi. Drombanna Boy has a fine staying pedigree and is one to note for the future while Akaabir ran a bit better than his form figures suggest at Listowel last week.
