Verdict

STILL STANDING made a winning reappearance nine days ago at Ballinrobe and, raised 3lb, should be fitter and ready to defy the increase this evening. The Harrington team are in fine fettle (10-36) and can add another success here. Zoffanyia was well held in second on handicap bow at Sligo but could have more to give and may take a similar role now while Birth Of Venus cannot be overlooked for another yard in excellent heart.
