Verdict

POUND A STROKE will possibly lay claims to the contest from the outset here as he has done on his last two starts when third of 12 at Wexford and a win over C&D both last month. The Sonny Mac gelding carries 7lb more here but that may not be enough to stop the six-year-old who is clearly in good heart. Runner-up last time out Bracklin Princess, Port Rashid and Urbanist can battle for the place money.
