Verdict

The Andrew Slattery-trained DARE TO FLARE can take advantage of the conditions here to land a wide open looking handicap. The Dandy Man gelding has finished third of 22 over C&D as well as winning on soft ground at Killarney over a similar trip last month. The hat-trick-seeking Bashiyr for the Dermot Weld yard can emerge as the biggest danger following a win at Galway earlier this month on rain-sodden ground. Stormy Tale and the Joseph O'Brien-trained The Game Of Life can give a good account of themselves.
