Verdict

Battling Spirit scored over this sort of trip at Clonmel in December and could quickly bounce back having perhaps found 3m around here on testing ground beyond his comfort zone since. BROSNA GEORGE might be worth a chance however, given he's displayed some positives on occasions of late. He finished well in third over C&D recently and the fitting of a tongue tie may help today, while Robbie Power is a useful ally in the saddle. Zagnzig also merits some inspection back over this trip from a workable mark while it won't be any surprise if his trainer squeezes a win from Bettatogether before long.
