Verdict

BUTTOOLAT showed enough on handicap debut at Navan last time out to warrant serious consideration for this contest from a 1lb lower rating. For a trainer in excellent form, he might be the answer here. Betty Loch also showed improved form last time out and cannot be discounted on handicap debut while Keep Believing and another handicap debutant Favorite Story are others worth paying attention to.
  1. Butoolat
  2. Betty Loch
