Verdict

It may be worth chancing handicap debutant GEALACH here, as the gelding, who wasn't too far behind Sir Dragonet at Tipperary, has been handed a potentially lenient opening mark, and is the sort who will take well to blinkers. Micro Manage is thoroughly unexposed and looks a big threat with his maiden win working out, and Monday's Gowran winner Cuban Hope should improve again at this trip and is respected as he tries to defy a penalty.
