Verdict

EARLS looked back to form with a fine third at the Galway Festival and with the nine-year-old set to love conditions, this may be an ideal opportunity to get his head back in front. Eddie G arrives seeking a hat-trick and commands the utmost respect with Sam Coen taking 5lb off, while the application of blinkers for the first time may see Gavoo in a better light.
