Verdict

A competitive renewal of this valuable race and POWERFUL is taken to regain the winning thread after failing to get involved dropped to 2m at Fairyhouse last time. He had previously made it 2-2 in handicaps at this course when accounting for San Hilario and 13 others in January and this step back up in trip will aid his cause. Matt Connor and last year's second Almuhit, for whom Harry Cobden is an eye-catching booking, are both greatly respected, along with the progressive Onlymammycanloveme.
