Verdict

MARINO MARVEL is the tentative suggestion in this weak contest where many of the contestants have little chance of success. The gelding returned from a long absence to run well at Ballinrobe recently and if able to improve then he may take all the beating. Walkers Point was a shock winner last time out having struggled in many of his appearances over hurdles. If that win has boosted his confidence then he may run well but could also simply revert to type. Zinat is very consistent and while he could do with some help from the handicapper, certainly deserves to win a handicap.
  1. Marino Marvel
