Verdict

A PLACE APART put in a decent effort on his return from a break at Wexford recently and with that in mind he can register a first victory in this competitive handicap hurdle. The selection had finished runner-up at Limerick prior to that and is taken to see off Sunset Sadie who has won twice already on heavy ground while Ri An Rian, who hails from a good yard can claim third on his return from a break.
  1. A Place Apart
  2. Sunset Sadie
  3. Ri An Rian
