Verdict

A trio of recent winners top the racecard in Balinaboola Steel, Misty Mountain and Gone Racing. All have their merits under penalties but there are dangers lurking. Deauville Society ran into an easy winner at Cork when clear in second spot last time and has claims, alongside Gotta Getaway – second last time behind Gone Racing at Tramore. There was some money around for WILLYOUWALKWITHME before last month's return to action here over 2m6f and, despite the saddle slipping early, he put up his best effort to date. This drop in trip should suit and he's got claims in an open heat.
  1. Willyouwalkwithme
  2. Gone Racing
