Verdict

A few in form runners will collide in this but last month's Down Royal scorer BACKINTHESADDLE makes most appeal. The form of his subsequent Naas third has worked out very well and he can get back in the winner's circle now. Ardera Cross has been in good form of late and should battle with Tramore conqueror Peculiar Genius once again in this, although the latter perhaps has more scope for improvement. Ormskirk is an interesting contender out of those taking a first step into handicap company while the mare Adreamstillalive has been in fine fettle since returning from a long layoff and could still have more to offer. Tethra can be a big threat if reproducing last month's Punchestown effort. 1. Backinthesaddle 2. Peculiar Genius 3. Adreamstillalive
