Verdict

BELTANE is some time without a win but seems to have landed on a good opportunity here and Mark Walford's six-year-old is taken to build on his good recent effort at Nottingham. Irish raider Circles shaped as if still in good form when getting a luckless run at Roscommon last time and can pose the biggest threat, with On The Bubble taken to complete the 1-2-3.
