Verdict
SATURN did well to come from off a steady pace when a stylish scorer at Navan last time and can go in again here at the chief expense of easy Dundalk winner Ascending who rates a big danger. Dutch Gold wasn't seen to ideal effect when a recent fifth at Leopardstown and is another who can have a say in a competitive handicap. Dark Oak completes the shortlist.
