Verdict

Despite carrying top weight, BALLINVARRIG is taken to land the hat-trick. He's in irresistible form at present at with conditions again in his favour, can win again before the handicapper catches up with him. Global Dream likes it here and although he'd be happier slightly down the grading ladder, should pick up some prizemoney, along with the veteran Simply Wings.
