Verdict

A few in with chances here but it could pay to side with recent Killarney-scorer THOUSAND TEARS. John Burke's charge picked up a first handicap success there 3 weeks ago and he's taken to notch a third career victory under this rider. Guido Reni heads the dangers if he can put a below-par effort on the level behind him, ahead of Mullaghmore Wave and Mon Storm.
