Verdict

The ten-year-old Sir Ector is making up for lost time now finally racing and was a stylish winner at Sligo last time on just his third start (second over obstacles). He's up 6lb for that win, but isn't to be dismissed readily. Clondaw Farmer is one to note in the market, returning from a long layoff with Cooper booked while Boudry showed better form last time and it won't be in any way a surprise if this trainer can squeeze a win out of him. Bronco Bill was second at Sligo recently and is considered but former C&D winner TYRELL'S SUCCESS is respected off today's mark having run well in Britain when last spotted earlier this summer.
