Verdict

SMILE CROCODILE had been making gradual progress before scoring at Down Royal where he attracted support in the betting. He's been raised 6lb for that but the runner-up, Fairymount Lord, has scored twice subsequently so Daniel Miley's charge looks well treated here, especially with his rider able to use his claim. Duke's Mutiny wasn't far behind Fairymount Lord at Wexford last month and has a chance to lose his maiden tag in that kind of form. Whitehead Lad has been threatening to win a race from this mark and ran quite well at Ballinrobe on Tuesday while Rockers Field ran a fine race behind Catleen at Limerick in January and another when sent over fences at Naas. Come To The Party is better known as a chaser these days but he's well handicapped over timber and holds Whitehead Lad on their 1-2 at Downpatrick in December.
