Verdict

GOLDEN SUNSET went close to his first win last time at Clonmel when he finished second and he should be taken to record his success here as he is capable of building on that. An Droichead Gorm was not far away at Tramore on his latest appearance and is likely to be challenging in the closing stages once again, while Sliabh Mhuire Lass hit the frame on her handicap debut at Clonmel earlier this month and is worth including in your calculations.
  1. Golden Sunset
  2. An Droichead Gorm
  3. Sliabh Mhuire Lass
