Admirable veteran who ran well to finish 8L second over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (heavy) a month ago. Interesting to see how he fares off a 2lb lower mark today.

Finished a fair third at Tramore in a beginners contest last month but failed to complete twice since and others make more appeal today.

Victorious over fences at Navan 12 months ago and placed in this sphere since. Well held seventh at Navan last time and needs to return to form if he's to take this contest.

Forecasts

Fairly Legal (7/2), Effernock Lad (9/2), Tongie (5/1), Concordin (11/2), All The Chimneys (7/1), Shrewdoperator (10/1), Ontopoftheworld (10/1), Mister First (14/1), Show And Go (14/1), Leap Dearg (20/1)

Verdict

EFFERNOCK LAD has been running well in recent times and he is taken to register his third chase victory in 12 starts today. The selection has ground conditions to suit and can see off Ontopoftheworld who can finish runner-up with cheekpieces and a tongue tie tried today. Of the remainder improvement looks likely from Fairly Legal on his first outing in handicap company.
  1. Effernock Lad
