Verdict

A wide-open claiming maiden in which preference is for WILLOFTHEPEOPLE, who probably needed the run in a first-time tongue strap after 11 months off when fifth at Bellewstown recently and Ger Lyons' 3-y-o drops back down to a sprint trip. The return to 6f should suit In The Gloaming, so he's put forward as the main threat on all-weather debut, with Aughlish and Saint Acclaim taken to fight out third.
