RACING POST VERDICT

Combs heads our ratings on 120, three pounds better than Puppet Master, and that edge looks enough to see him home over the 18 furlongs on good ground at Sligo. Puppet Master is the chief danger on 117, with Friary Road a further three pounds back on 114 and Speisialta on 106 needing to improve to figure. Crystabel is the lowest rated of the five on 100 and looks to have plenty to find. Combs is the pick.
