Verdict

A small field contest where those lining up are all very much of a similar ilk, and perhaps Gibbstown aside, find winning a fairly challenging concept to grasp. Admittedly some have had far fewer chances than others, and the likes of Off The Charts may well have had a recent physical problem (wind) as he returns from a break wearing the all too obvious tongue tie. One piece of form in particular gives WILLOW GRANGE fairly strong claims (Sligo, September 2016), and with some obvious reluctance to make him the selection due to his dismal strike rate, this is possibly the time of year to catch him right, but too all intents and purposes this is a race to treat with extreme caution.
  1. Willow Grange
  2. Off The Charts
  3. Aranhill Rascal
