Verdict

GAIN DE CAUSE should have more to come on the back of his course success last month and is fancied to make light of a 9 lb rise. Barry Connell's Hgranca de Thaix could provide the main threat if recapturing the form he showed when second in a Listowel handicap in the autumn. Optional Mix and Sargent Lightfoot are also on the shortlist.
