Verdict

Not a particularly deep contest with some fairly weak form on offer overall. There could be a real blot on the handicap in the shape of Rock Road after his second to Dinions at Killarney but that form could be dubious and it may pay to look elsewhere for the winner of this. Star Of Oscar needs to polish up his jumping in this sphere but his last run at Tramore puts him firmly in the mix along with Attalco and Home Place. The Ronan McNally team are in super form proving age is no barrier to them in getting one to win and that may well open the door for BLACK SPOT ON to score. He may have been slightly flattered at Downpatrick but he’s taken to get off the mark over fences despite topweight.
  1. Black Spot On
  2. Star Of Oscar
  3. Rock Road
