Verdict

In a wide-open handicap the Flemensfirth gelding CHER WHY NOT can land the spoils following a number of solid and consistent runs since the turn of the year including when second the Willie Mullins-trained Eight And Bob on yielding to soft ground at Fairyhouse in January. The seven-year-old will have to see of strong competition from Cappuccino Man in first-time cheekpieces, Emily Square from the Thomas Mullins yard and the dependable Diggin Deep.
