Verdict
TOUCH THE MOON ought to have a career on the Flat in Ireland. His close third for George Scott in a Ripon handicap last year has been very well endorsed, especially by the horse in fourth who has subsequently run up a hat-trick. He switched to Bill Durkan for whom he has been placed in two maiden hurdles. A facile victory in a charity race at Punchestown should have him primed for this assignment. Poetic Sound has gone well fresh before and has to be respected with his mark of 94. Drucker is a tough sort that showed his battling qualities when winning over the same trip in Dundalk, while The Real Screamer and Soaring Sun are others for consideration.
Expert View Verdict
Drucker reverts to turf off a 12lb lower mark and he holds strong claims but has to prove his effectiveness on the different surface. The Real Screamer is respected, being a progressive sort, while Touch The Moon won a charity race last time, but Nicola Burns, rider of POETIC SOUND, and Siobhan Rutledge, aboard Jabbar, give their mounts a potential edge here. We'll go with the top weight, who goes well fresh and hasn't had much racing so could still improve.
